We are sitting in Florida & today all of our interior lighting began to flicker; some are going on and off by themselves indiscriminately. We'll turn them off and a little later like the mood light will come on & flicker, maybe the one in the hall will do the same. When we turn them on all, they all flicker.

We have a 2007 Allure 38 foot Sunset Bay.
Anyone experience this and if so, any suggestions as to what this would be?
We will be replacing our house batteries when we get home in April. Is this problem occuring from the house batteries or what?

Thanks.

We had a similar problem while CC was still alive and their techs added some additional grounds to the control box. Don't know where they put them but it solved the problem.
Suggest you check the control box for any loose wires and/or fuses, we found some of those also.

I had a similar problem last week, maybe it is something in the air at Fl,(that is where I am also).
My lighting is the Intellitec, and all the dimmers would go from dim to bright constantly. My control modules are in the closet on passinger side, there are three modules on mine, what I did was disconnect the battery + cable from the module, the first one I think works the dimmers, after that the rest of the lights worked fine.., the next day I connected the cable back and everything has be working fine since. Not sure if yours will, but it may be worth a try...
I did check all the wires and cables and did not find any thing loose..

Dee:

You have an intermittent electrical connection somewhere in the lighting supply circuitry. In my 99 Allure I had this condition in the lighting over the sink and it turned out to be a wire-nut splice in a feed line to the slide, but not in the slide. It was seven or eight years before being corrected by a CC tech at a rally in Oregon. I suggest you find a qualified electrical guy to trouble shoot it for you.
