CAUTION! If your lights are dimming or flickering after turning on a large appliance (but your circuit breaker has not tripped), this could mean the voltage in your household is not up to standard. This is a dangerous situation that requires the immediate attention of a professional electrician like Mr. Electric. The other possible cause is loose wiring. If you check your circuit breaker and the wiring looks loose, it’s time to call a professional. Loose wiring is the third-leading cause of home structural fires in the United States.

If you find yourself in a situation where your lights are flickering on and off, but the circuit breaker doesn’t trip, there are some easy fixes, but also some key signs that it’s time to call a professional. When first turned on, LED or fluorescent bulbs are more prone to flicker when reaching peak illumination, if flickering continues consistently afterward, switch the bulb. Two other non-serious issues with lights flickering could be a loose bulb or faulty switch. These two issues can easily be fixed on your own.

One culprit could be a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet that has tripped. When experiencing electrical imbalances, GFCI outlets trip much quicker to protect people from electrocution. If you hit the “test” button and it does not click, the GFCI has tripped. By pressing “reset” until you feel it click, you can restore the power to the outlet and any outlets downstream. [links]

When a light in your home goes out, most of the time we have an idea of how to remedy the situation: double check the switch, take a look at the bulb, assess the breaker.

Other issues can include loose wiring or outlets. Over the years, wiring and screws can come loose. One outlet going out can impact multiple outlets or lights throughout the house. Most homeowners can tighten outlet screws on their own. If loose wiring seems to be the culprit, contact Mr. Electric for help. [links]

If one or more lights in your home have gone out and your circuit breaker isn’t tripped, what could the issue be? here

[stevesaxon]

We won’t go into detail on how we fixed that here. But check back in the future because we’re going to explain how we created the light fixtures. [links]

Soon we realized it was a bigger problem than our light fixture. Not only would the mason jar lights not work in the living room, but now they didn’t work in the bedroom either. This left us really confused.

[gaetaneelle24]

Dimmers are going on the mason jar lights in the bedroom as well, so we took them down to try in the living room. The main objective here was to see if the problem was with our light fixture or with our RV 12V lights.

[seq2010]

Some light fixtures within an RV can have switches located on a control panel. For instance, the light fixture above our sofa has a switch near the steps, this is also where our 12v on/off switch is located. The first thing we checked was that the switch was on. more

We could’ve used our needle-nose pliers to pull out the fuses and see if they were bad. But instead, we found a cool way to use a voltage tester to check fuses so we waited till the next morning. more

[robotmonkey]

We found two blown fuses. I was kind of happy about this because it showed me we in fact had a problem. here

Question: My bathroom and hall lights do not work in my 1998 Coachman Catalina.

[rettin60]

We assume the lights in the hall and bathroom are running off of 12-volt, and that other lights in the RV are working fine. If that is the case, then check for the following possible causes: more

Troubleshooting the RV 12-volt System

[Guillermo]

Your RV relies on its 12-volt electrical system to power like your water pump, lights, and other necessities. When it doesn’t work, it’s a major problem. How can you find out what’s wrong with your 12-volt system and how can it be fixed?
