Unusual electrical gremlin story

[gr8hunter1 at comcast.net (Jacob Hawes)]

In other words, just another day.

I was talking to a friend who years ago had a rabbit. At some point it 
developed a gremlin. What would happen is that the headlights would 
blink. They blinked faster the faster he went and slower the slower he 
went. It would be pretty slow when he was coming to a stop and if he 
stopped moving when the lights were on the off blink the car would die.

Turns out the aluminum washer on a ground had oxidized and blocked the 
wire from grounding. So it instead grounded through the axles which 
included the CV joints. The blinking and dying was when the joint was 
turned so that the part if was grounding through wasn't connecting to 
the rest of it.

Any other howd's-that-work gremlin stories?
