Interior lights blink on & off - dry camping

I do not have my X19H plugged into land power. I've been dry camping in it since AprilI. I disconnect the battery when I'm not using the unit for a period of time ( this last time it was for a week). It has never been a problem when I reconnect, until now. Nothing has been changed in the unit, but this time after connecting the battery I turned on the interior lights - they went on for a second then off, and continued to do the same. Any ideas why this would happen?
I had the battery tested and is good with plenty of power

Do you take it out to charge it? Did you reverse the wires?

Battery was removed, is fully charged and was tested. I did not reverse the wires.

You may have a self resetting breaker instead of a straight fuse. If the breaker is doing that replace it with the same size and see if it recurs. May be a small short that heats up the breaker and it blows, cools and resets.

Thanks. I’ll check that out. But if it’s a short I still have to find it and fix it. Hard to do without a wiring diagram

Thumbs up

Problem solved.
Positive threaded post on battery was loose inside the battery. This allowed for a loose connection thereby lower power to unit. Don't know why they did not notice it when I had it tested. Replaced battery for free under warranty.
