no, if i'm low on fuel then it comes on and stays on... i had over a half of a tank in it when this happened... it's basicly on.. but blinks from dim to bright.. and it is a steady bright,dim,bright,dim.. like it's blanking basicly... didnt know if anybody has heard of this before or delt with it and if so what was it.

It could be the sensor in the tank. Does your gas gauge move when the happens?
