Flourescent light issue

[Ernie Ekberg]

I have the same problem and took the switches out to expose the wiring. Found out that a butt connector was loose. Sometimes I would pound my fist by the switches and that would jar the butt connector.

There are three switches over the entry door that control the flourescent lights in the forward area of my bus.(Over the sofa, and side mini-desk salon area). These lights will not work for long periods of time at all, then suddenly work fine for a long period, then back again to inoperative. I'm trying to determine if they all run off a SINGLE ballast. If so, that is probably my problem, if they're all independantly ballasted ... then I have an intermittent short of some sort to run down. The exterior light that runs off the same power loop works fine all the time, but those are incandescent so .... I've discovered many time that a simple ground issue kills lights. Anyone dealt with the ballasts in this part of the bus ? One ? Three ? Where is it ... and what contemporary model number is it if it's just one ? I'd like to fix it the first time I have to tear that open ...
