Last evening on our trip home, out of the blue, the dash lights, and the side marker lights started a very faint "blink". When I shut the engine down, you could hear a clicking sound much like the sound with the hazard light or turn signal light. Is this a relay going out? If so, are these readily available at a parts store. If it is not a relay, would would you think it would be? |

It could be a loose wire, bad ground or a poor connection. I would think it if was a relay they usually just go out. I would check your wiring and grounds first. Do you have a manual so you can find wire numbers? That would be a good way to start your troubleshooting. If they are on the same circuit, you have a good start. Maybe someone with a later model Eagle can help. Good Luck Paul |

Sounds like a circuit breaker is getting hot and breaking the circuit. Feel it for heat and find out what is shorting out. |

Does sound like a circut breaker. If it is not a short in the system then the breaker is going bad. Non electrician fix is replace breaker if it contiues to happen then you have a short and a spare breaker. You should be able to find offending breaker by following sound or sometimes feeling the breakers. |
