Dash Brake Light flicker?

Any common/typical causes of a flickering dashboard "Brake" light on my '86 911? Handbrake is disengaged, but I'm thinking maybe a slightly stuck caliper? Any thought would be appreciated.

Thanks,
PC

Have you checked the pads for wear? Also inspect the pad sensor wiring for anything loose / frayed / broken?

you should be able to bypass the sensor at each wheel with a jumper. When it stps flashing you will know which wheel to T/S further.

Did you check your brake fluid level?

Thanks for all the input. I have not tried anything yet but wanted to get some ideas as to what triggers this. Great ideas to try out this week.
