Troubleshooting LEDs Staying On When Switched Off and Others Not Coming On At All.

Published 09/11/2021

Question:

I have one light in my RV where 2 of the diodes shine constantly but very dim. You can only notice it when all lights are off at night. When the lights are on only 6 of the diodes shine. The 2 dim diodes do shine bright when the lights are on but 3 other diodes do not shine. Is there a short in the wiring are some other issue?

You likely have a damaged circuit board on the Command Electronics LED RV Interior Light # 328-K-1050Q9. This would explain why 3 of the LEDs are not on when you have it switched on.

What concerns me is the 2 dim LED's that you have when the light is switched off. This makes me think that there is something wrong with the power switch as well. I recommend checking the switch to see if power is getting past it when you have it off, and replacing it immediately if faulty.
