Brake light comes on for split second

[Texas gn]

I just have a quick question about my powermaster. When I push the brake pedal quickly the brake light will come on for a split second than go off. If I press the pedal slowly the light won’t come on. The pump motor is running correctly and the car feels normal when I brake. If it was not for the flash of the brake light I would not think to have an issue. I looked at the troubleshooting manual and did not see a reference for this issue. Thanks for any help.

That's usually and indicator that the accumulator charge is starting to get weaker. Time to think about a new accumulator.

I would say the accumulator as well, the frequency of the light will gradually increase as well.

Guess that make senses…..it is the only thing I have not had to replace on this unit. Thanks for the help guys! I will start hunting one.

Definitely the accumulator ball. Do you feel the pedal vibrate as well?

No, the only thing that is different is that the brake light flashes quickly for a split second.
