light socket burning out
 

We installed 2
3 vintage lights in our HiLo using existing wiring. 2 of them work fine. 1 of them keeping "burning up" the sockets. We have now put in 2 new sockets and this last one lasted about 3 hours. Turned on maybe 3 times. The wiring is good, he checked it all when we gutted it. So what is going on?? Help please! We have been in camper now for 2 weeks and have 2 more to go. Its my kitchen light, so maybe if it doesn't work, I won't have to cook??

Have you read out the wires for proper voltage? It may look good, but maybe over voltage is the culprit. Or the bulbs poorly made (China?). Had a dome light in my '63 Dodge Dart :cool: For some unknown reason the base had 19 volts! Pulled the ceiling down, rewired, never had the problem again. :confused: You can still cook by candle light .....
