Could be the output device which is found under the tank just above the coils.

Sadly no idea how to test it.

Check the contacts on the stop switches are sound, fiddle with them whilst the brakes are applied.

Tap a few things with the blunt end of a screwdriver, that often works for me when I don't understand whats going on.

Tlc is on the right track the device sitting under the tank is the outage relay only way to test is by substitution with a good unit though in the past i have used a 12v relay.This unit is more complex than it seems as if you get a blown stop tail lamp the indicator in the clock flashes!! you dont get this facility if you use a standard relay.They are no longer available as a spare only hope is to get a used unit seen them go for over $60 on US ebay.
Hope this helps Paul Jac.....
