Dear Mike -- You're right. However, a) once you've done the work to get to where you can remove the cap you might as well replace it; it's the least of the job. And b) the newer type level controllers that don't peg the gauge depend on the light to keep blinking by itself for a few seconds once it's triggered, so it's no longer just a lamp-test function.
