So th eother week i noticed my obc light bar blinking. Then a few days later it was just out. The numbers still work just the lights are out. Now I know its not the bulbs. A) because I already replaced both with LED last ,year. B) I HIGHLY doubt both would go at the exact same time. So I am assuming there is a power to the board problem. Everything on the board seems to be tight. The blue plastic housing has a very small amount of play which I just assume is normal as I cannot pry it off the board or anything. Ideas?

They seem to be in there firmly... I can't get multimeter leads down there though...

If it was blinking for a while then there's a good chance that one of the LED's went out. I assume you wired 4 of them in series. I did the same thing and actually I'm replacing them right now. Mine has been blinking for years because when put the LED's in I spec'ed it for 12v. They are getting over 13v and that killed them. They didn't die completely but got dimmer a bit and started blinking. You can take the rear cover off from the OBC and check the voltage on the pins that way. Mine was 13.3v with the engine running.Comment
