OK folks in am tapping into your skills :)! I have been battling a problem with what would appear to be a short in a negitive ground as I am experiening a flickering on the light above the desk on the 09' Agusta floor plan. I have checked the panel with the fuses in the coach and found several wires that were loose :eek:, fixed them I hope went to all other places where I found juction boxes and yes more loose wires :mad:, and even crawled into the belly of the beast and checked the buss bar for loose wires. And I still have flickering on the light can anyone give me some input on something I may have missed :confused: .
Thanks in advance!

Have you removed the light fixture and tightened the wires there? It is probably a wire nut that is loose. I had one over the bed in ours.

Mike,

Perhaps a bad ballast or bulb. Try swapping this fixture out with one from the ceiling as a test. Monitor both to see what happens.

Perhaps you have a bulb getting ready to die:eek:. The filament may just be making contact, gets a little jiggle or warms up, then cools off and makes contact again. I have had it happen more than once.

Not the problem in a landmark as most fixture are florescent fixtures, good idea though.

uh hu, that too... found the two junction boxes under the kitchen slide and the desk/fire place slide and checked for loose wires one loose and others good, no pinched or cut wires that I could see?
Keep them coming! I'm sure that someone will come up with one, I will check on more replies in the morning, thanks....
