Except that without the [newer-type] control relay, no likely combination of events will result in the light blinking that does not also peg the gauge. So the overwhelming likelihood is that it's the gauge -- especially in humid weather. It *could* be an intermittent ground, but I doubt it. Ah! -- it could be an intermittent problem with the +10v supply to the gauge, or the gauge ground. I still bet it's the gauge. Mine right now after a humid week blinks for quite a while until the heat from the working element dries out the circuit board. david
