2006 Flagstaff Forest River Pop Up- Overhead lights turning OFF

Any idea why our overhead lights on our 2006 Pop Up are turning OFF after being ON for a while? Last nigth they were ON for a few hours and all of the sudden went OFF. We check the breakers/fuses and semm to be OK.
We lowered the sink for a while and back up again and one side aft came On. When we turned the Fwd ones, then the whole thing OFF again.
All electrical connections are plugged in so no idea why is doing this.

Anybody give us idea why the lights are going OFF?


Thanks and Merry Christmas....

Do you have the 'master' switch on your popup? Maybe there is a short in that switch? Not sure, but giving your post a 'bump' to see if anyone else has any ideas...

Lower the sink and operate the switch by hand. Inconsistent results = bad switch or loose/bad ground.

Sounds like the saftey switch, in the hinged cab is burned or defective. When lights are on for awile, contact warms up and opens. Same as turning on 2nd light. You can try to temp jump out the switch, or just change it. Another cause can be poor battery connection or ground connection at the frame. Disconnect and clean all, should help.
