Automatic mood lighting?

Sounds like one of two things:
- a loose connection to that circuit
- some othe load is coming on and reducing the voltage to that circuit.

I am presuming that this is on the 12 VDC side.

No mood lights, seems no matter what else is on or off same thing, thanks for your help.

Open DC fuse panel and see if you have a bad connection at the two fuse terminals. I also think that you have a bad connection and the fuses are a good place to check. Typically a bad connection will generate heat. If you find a bad connection, remove fuse, use pliers to crimp down on fuse socket terminals and replace the fuse. Should be tight pushing in the fuse.

Sorry, I meant to say each fuse has two terminals. I have used an infrared thermal gun to check for heat. You can buy them at Home Depot for about $30.00. Nice tool to have because I have used it to check temperature of tires, poor connections in electrical harnesses and fuses as well as bad wheel bearings in a trailer.

Could be a bad ground for the lighting circuit too. A poor connection doesn't have to be at the fuse end - can be anywhere along the wiring.

Depending on how dim they are it could be normal aging. You might replace one bulb and see if that fixes the problem.

I had to go through and replace several recently when I finally noticed how dim they were compared to the others.
