Flashing courtesy lights/Rocker switch question.
#1
When I put the courtesy lights on after about five minutes they start flashing. I replaced the rocker switch ,checked all connections /grounds for tightness and it really is baffling me. batteries are fully charged also.  Bang Head Bang Head

That is a little strange. I would try jumping +12V to the switch from another source, ideally direct to the battery with an inline fuse. If that stops the flickering then you have a connection issue down stream, most likely at the breaker. You can use the same method to check each connection in the circuit path until you find the culprit.

I will try that . Interesting thought, I have been checking downstream FROM the rocker switch, not thinking the breaker to the switch maybe culprit. I'll let you know what I come up .

Thank you for input.

Are they regular bulb or LED? Regular.bulbs pull more amps. Could be a corrosion issue causing resistance after a bit it heats up and starts the issue.

They are the regular bulbs. I am thinking of LED replacement if I'm going through all this trouble shooting.

Easy to order some led bulbs on Amazon. They draw so little current your flickering issue may go away.
