Has anyone else had this type of a problem and if so, what did you do to fix it?

The one on the back picks up dust. Remove the cover and clean the switch connections with DeOxit D5. Did this a couple years ago. Do the same with the side light. We haven't had a problem with the side. This has been written up several times. Simple fix.
Never looked ['16 Hawk], but are you referring to light connectors when you say "switch connections"? ...I always assumed these clearance lights were simply wired into power harness and came on with ignition. I may be missing something...
Another question: Where are/is the ground[s] for these lights?
Thanks...Phil

Can someone provide a photograph of the "switch connections" that should be cleaned?
Problem is technically in the switch itself. You really can't spray any contact cleaner into them, at least not easily. Unfortunately, the whole light assembly is garbage and is widely used in the RV industry.
FWC is part of that industry.

Ah, I thought the OP was asking about his amber clearance lights? I did not know they had a "switch" like the side or down lights.
Exterior lights [down/side LEDs] have inside switches; clearance lights [amber] I thought came on with vehicle lights, no switch.
Or are we talking about two [?] amber porch/side lights?
