djpauls Report post Posted March 23, 2013 2001 Dynasty plugged into power and interior lights flicker. Originally noticed when just 1 fluorescent light was on. Turning multiple lights on minimizes the problem. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
desertdeals69 Report post Posted March 23, 2013 12 volt or 120 volt? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djpauls Report post Posted March 23, 2013 12v lights flicker only when plugged into 110v. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfe10 Report post Posted March 23, 2013 Is it a rapid flicker, or just dims for a second every couple of minutes? If the latter, many chargers turn off charge (therefore voltage lowers) for a second or two so they can "sense" the true level of battery charge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dickandlois Report post Posted March 23, 2013 Hi Don, My first thought would be a contact(s) arcing on the 12 volt relay or solenoid. Depending on the way you coach is wired.Monaco has used both Latching Relays and solenoids often together depending on model and year of the coach. One can disconnect fro m shore power and open the 12 volt battery grounds, then use a nail emery board to clean the contacts and see if that clears the problem. If not, then one needs to look at other possibilities. so start at the simple and inexpensive first. Rich. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djpauls Report post Posted March 23, 2013 It is a rapid flicker. I have had the problem for about a week. Drove about 4 hours today and when initially hooked up to shore power the flickering lasted about an hour. Currently not flickering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfe10 Report post Posted March 23, 2013 Sounds like it could be a 120 VAC (60 cycles per second) issue bleeding over to 12 VDC system. Set your voltmeter to 120 VAC and check at the battery or 12 VDC outlet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
