12 volt wiring in coach

[Arkansas1]

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 , fixed them I hope went to all other places where I found juction boxes and yes more loose wires , 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 .
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.

"yep" even went as far as to solder and shrink wrap to give it a little class...

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. 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.

Lets try again! I installed a new complete fixture and bulb, keep them coming!

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

Is it only the light over the desk and not any other area??

It is now at first it was one near the stove and desk, now just the desk!

Have you looked at the wiring outside under the slide for issues and pinched wires?

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....
