The wall lights over the bed work sometimes and then they won't work for for a while; then the start working again. Any idead as to the possible cause.

I had a similar situation with the vanity lights. Turned out to be a loose connection on the breaker switch.

On my '95 the lights, rear radio and thermostat are connected to power with wire nuts - big ones - one of which fell off and the wire twist was all that was left. They came together behind the rear wall, driver's side, about head height. I accessed them by opening the upper cabinet and popping out the right side wall after removing some screws. They are now connected as solder joints. If I remember right, I could see them by removing the A/C thermostat mounting plate.

Believe I found the problem. There is a connection below the bed that kills the lights when the bed is raised. Found a loose wire there. Reattached and the lights have worked for several days without a problem.
