I know that Vikx suggests testing 12 volt wiring with a portable jump starter (which I don't have). So, I tried using a small 12 volt transformer used for a run of outdoor 12 volt lighting fixtures. When hooked up to this the light I was testing (not installed in camper yet) came on, but flashed on and off about every second or less. If I try to read the voltage from a battery voltage meter, I get a reading of zero that flashes at the same rate.
Anybody know what is going on? Are my landscape lights different than the ones designed for trailers? Does there need to be a minimum power draw to work (...I know there is a maximum). Is the transformer putting out AC instead of DC. I'm just confused.
