No clearance lights

Hi All, got in the coach the other day and did walk around to find out I had no marker lights/dash lights. I have headlights/hi beam/break/turn signal/flashers. Called Monaco tech and they thought it may be the K4 relay. Replaced relay and dash switch. Turned on and they lite intermittantly a couple of times and then stayed on. The next day Turned on to make sure and the clicking in the front fuse bay was happening again at the clearance lights. I since do not have them again. Has anyone had this and can tell some directions to fix? BTW, my dynasty has the seperate dimmer to the left of the headlight switch on dash.
Thanks,
D

    Thanks Superguy and will check all dimmer lights. Can't get to all clearance lights unless I dig out silicone and uncrew on front and rear caps.
    Thanks,

    I had the same problem, changed out switches still no light, the problem was clearance light bulb, it had shorted out in the bulb, change bulb and all is will, had to put in a larger fuse for a short time to see what bulb was out, don't leave that larger fuse in only to see what bulb is out that was 4 months ago and still working just fine.

    Hi All,
    Back at the clearance lights again. Found out that the dimmer switch may have been the culprit. When I turned it all the way to the left, the clearance lights came on. So, replaced the dimmer switch and no lights. Taped off the ends of the two wires to the switch and have lights. Still checking and no dash lights yet.

    Hi All, and as a follow up, I should have gone one step further. I had replaced relay and dash headlight switch, but did not buy a new dimmer switch to the left on my dash. Okay now and it was the dimmer.
    Thanks,

    Do you have an ICC switch? Maybe a loose connection on it? If the trailer wiring was shorting to ground it would be blowing fuses.

    have you checked your wiring by the trailer hitch that is where I would start to look for the problem. you have a bad wire or bulb going to ground.

    It could have been the relay, but couldn't tell and only saw a yellow light going on and off when I heard the clicking noise. Also, once turning on dash switch, headlights came on directly and the marker lights had a delay to the point I walked outside and then they came on. Thought I had it fixed and when we left the next day, nothing, so I turn to here to see if anyone else had same issues.
    Thanks,
    D
