Flashing "stop lamp" light...what does it mean?

It was in the mid 50's today so I pulled the ol' steed out of the stable to go for a little ride.

When I got it out I noticed that the "stop lamp" light on the gauge cluster was flashing. Does that mean the bulb needs replaced? It was still lighting up when I hit the brakes, but I don't know if the brake light was necessarily functioning correctly.

yep you need a bulb....my tail light was modified and some times it comes un plugged same flashind or stays lit ...

What T. said. it's covered in service manual under maintanence electrical. G
