Intermittent electrical problem Dean 11-2-08  
2008 Allegro Bay 34' class A motor home.With headlights on dark outside with camera system off note coach has side and rear cameras left turn signal indicator will come on by itself and not flash just a steady green indicator light after aprox 3 min the chimes I guess for if the turn signals are left on chimes will start chiming to stop the chimes i turn on the right turn signal and the camera screen will light up bright white with no picture just blinding white screen when returning the signal lever to off the chimes stop but the left turn signal indicator will still glow steadily without flashing. this problem continues over and over again until the headlights are turned off. Also another issue is at night with the headlights on when the turn signals are used the camera in off position again will come on blinding white screen no picture camera is the off mode not turned on and when the signal is returned to off the screen will go black off. Why does the camera screen light up? Do you have any ideas? as this is an intermittent problem that of course cannot be duplicated when brought in for repairs. Can you help me? This is a 2008 Allegro Bay motor home. I do not have a problem with the turn signals and camera system in the day time. Thank you Dean This has been very nerve racking

Definitely sounds like some bad Grounds, bad connection and the camera circuitry is becoming the ground-
with lights on===do a walk around see what's lit and what's NOT same thing with turn signals

I would say that I would have to agree on the bad ground. It only happens when you have the headlight switch on so I would say that that is where you should start looking for the bad ground.
