95 370 Sundancer - Strange problem with Spotlight...Remote controlled spotlight is flashing on and off at a regular interval. I got lucky and the first fuse I pulled has stopped the flashing AND the light continues to work as it should from the controls. Have yet to trace the wires down to see where it is going. I heard a clicking like a relay was going on and off. Any ideas?
 
How often does it flash? Flashing might indicate the light is stuck in the on position. A circuit breaker is heating up, breaking the circuit (shutting off), cooling down, closing circuit (lighting up), heating up, breaking the circuit (shutting off), cooling down, closing circuit (lighting up), heating up, breaking the circuit (shutting off), cooling down, closing circuit (lighting up), heating up, breaking the circuit (shutting off), cooling down, closing circuit (lighting up), heating up, breaking the circuit (shutting off), cooling down, closing circuit (lighting up), heating up, breaking the circuit (shutting off), cooling down, closing circuit (lighting up)
 
Chris, at 4 this afternoon you should have been loafing along on the way to Croton Point, not diagnosing problems on this forum!
 
Figured it out tonight while installling a new VHF antenna, the spotlight is connected to a car alarm system that is flashing the spotlight...no remotes or other documentation to speak of. I think I will keep the fuse I pulled out and not worry about it at this time (until it does not start because of the alarm shutting down the ignition).
