I have a 2008 Tour Master T40Bb, the right headlight comes on for a while and goes off. I suspect a weak circuit breaker. Does anyone know where it is located in the electrical compartment if it is used in the headlight circuits. Thanks in advance!!

Hello Frank and

and to the Gulf Stream Owners Forum. We are glad to have you join us and we look forward to reading of your adventures and experiences. I am sure you will enjoy the website and forums. Good luck, stay safe and keep us posted.
I would not think they one headlight would be on a circuit breaker by itself. I think the bulb may be getting too hot and causing a connection problem. Could even be a defective bulb.
Try swapping it with the other side for testing and let us know what you find.

Thanks for the input RV Wizard, I ran a jumper wire from the left side headlight to the right side and both headlights come on for awhile and they both go off. Will try switching bulbs. They use an H9 Halogen bulb, could the bulb be getting too hot.

I think I would be looking for a loose wire or ground. It might be as simple as spreading a contact.

Switch bulbs, no change. Traced wires to electrical compartment on drivers side front and found a loose connection at the bulkhead disconnect. Thanks for all the help.
