Yes, I had seen this...Shortly thereafter, my headlight switch went out...I replaced and no probs since. Maybe a coincidence. Look at the wiring diagram in the Bentley . I bet there is a really involved. I would clean the connections on it. Could be the column switch needs cleaned up, too, if you are not shy of pulling the steering wheel.
