Just picked up my '18 Anthem from NIRVC. BTW - first time there based on many positive comments on this forum and was very happy with the overall experience and willingness of the techs to spend time with me (and I ask a lot of questions!).

But as we were leaving both of the red lights on the dash and the orangish ones on the mirrors started blinking. Three quick blinks then a second or two pause then three blinks. On and on and on. Stopped for gas ($1.21 with my EFS card, thanks again to this forum) and the blinking started again, this happened all the way home, 7 hours driving.

Does anyone know what this means? There are no other warning symbols and no warning messages.

Sounds like moisture in the pickups. Did you have the recall done?

I have no idea what is causing this, but on my initial drive home from the dealership (also NIRVC) I had strange electrical gremlins pop up. A cycle of the 12V system and flipping all the breakers made it go away. If you haven't cycled the power, you may want to give that a shot.

What Rollin said. It’s common and I’m not sure there is actually a recall but it happens so often everyone knows about it. If it bothers you, you can pull the fuse that is in the compartment below the driver, it’s a 5 amp fuse and is marked. They are really pretty useless so I would pull the fuse and add it to your next time list.

Thanks, I did have the recall done in January, they resealed one area that they deemed to have lost some of the seal. And we did go through a lot of rain on the 19th on the way to NIRVC. Not sure if I want to mess with the seals to check just yet though.

After starting and restarting the engine I did reset the 12 volt. No joy. But didn't flip all the breakers, I'll try that.

Looks like a call to CS might be in order tomorrow.

Not a bad idea! I was concerned that it might be some sort of warning, but regarding what, I have no clue.

The flashing is just showing failure of side radar

I did the real shortly after buying the coach due to the same issue. On my way to the mothership, the week that we met it started up again. They replaced the entire rear harness and sealed everything back up. It'll act up again, of that I am sure

. Next guys problem

Now up to reason #168 not to drive in rain.

Chucks way beyond counting on fingers.

Agree with Gary that the warning sensors are pretty much useless anyway, I've already seen what's coming 2 seconds before they flash on. So pulling the fuse is the most sane way of dealing with the problem.

Thanks again for all your replies!
