Cameronian, phixer,
... another post (I didn't find it this time and have no more time to look for it now) relates how another pilot had to apply the brakes while taxying to compress the nose strut to get the aircraft systems to get their act together.

As previously posted I had the nose oleo strut overinflated one night taxiing out for take off with the strobe lights on and idle power at flight idle because of another relay thinking we were in the air. I did not notice the RAT temp being high but am sure it was and did not know the TOWS was inop. Agressive braking brought the nose oleo switch to ground position and all returned to normal. It must happen regularly so should be a maintenance concern.
