electrical problem

[periana]

i am new to motor homes drove all the way from southern spain to ireland no probs a funny thing is happening with my electrics when i start up i get a clicking noise {bit like hazard warning light sound) and all my light flicker
drive off then fine but as soon as i brake or put my hand brake on it flickers again until we move of. now would any one be able to advise me if this is a general brake light fault or some thing to do with the batteries etc on the camper. any help would be great.

Probably not the camper electrics, more like vehicle electrics.

Poor connection on the starter battery terminals? either + or the earth, or the earth to the chassis?

Have a look at your main battery cable, the big one on the battery and the earth cable on the otherside of the battery. Sounds like you need to either clean the connections or tighten them up that is on the battery.

Sounds like possibly a poor connection on main electrics relay if your vehicle has one fitted , that is the clicking sound , or as Camping Gaza says also possibly poor ign switch .

voltage regulator fault on the alternator? low volts being output so relays clicking and when you rev up the voltage increases till you pull up
