3810MS, pop up elec outlet blinking

My Montana has 2 pop up elec with cell phone built in chargers outlets. One by stove and one on other side by table. The one by the table, the green light by cell charger blinks bright to low light green. It made the cell phones that were charging to make a beeping noise in unisine with the binks. Green light on the other one is constant sharp bright green. Any ideas?. How do you remove them?. What to see if all wires are secure.

On ours the wiring is in the wooden part against the wall and plugs into the outlet that the outdoor TV plugs into.

Yah, thank you, but how do you get access to the back of the wood box, or mainly to the wiring. I would like to lift the pop-up outlet out of it's round socket holder to check the wires there. It has to have a release clip somewhare?

Ive assisted in removing the one by the dining table in a friends coach. We had to remove the wood panel on the end of the cabinet the table was attached to for access to the plug. It was held in place by a larger looking threaded nut. His was coming rose,so we tightened the nut, no issues since then. We reattached that same panel with small screws, as it was stapled into place from factory.

What would cause the green LED light to be dim and blink. The light is inbetween the 5V phone chargers. The other assembly on the other side of the room by the stove is on steady green and bright. Anyone ever have that happen?

It's the blinking of the LED light that has me worried on the charger. Why is it blinking?

The popup outlet is really nothing more than a power strip. You can purchase on Amazon to replace them. To get at the one in the table, you can gently pry the panel on that side. It is held in by staples on my unit. Once off, you can get to the popup from underneath. It has one retaining ring that is threaded and a cord that plugs into a regular 110/120 v A/C outlet. Here's an example of a replacement on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Jgstkcity-App...NsaWNrPXRydWU=
There are literally hundreds to choose from. Just search for popup receptacle.

I need to replace the pop up by the table.

Read all the posts Understand about taking off the side panel. But my pop up plugs into the outdoor tv receptacle. No one has mentioned how difficult it is to route the plug to the outside tv receptacle. Has anyone done this and what did you do?

My unit doesn't have an outside TV receptacle, only a receptacle under the table that the popup plugs into. Having said that, would it be possible to tie a string around the plug on the outside, then unplug it and pull the string inside? You can reverse the process to snake the new plug outside.

Sounds like a sound plan. Thanks you so much for your quick response and good advice. Having used that method to snake cables from the console to the transom of a boat, I was wondering how difficult getting through the wall and (I assume) some insulation would be.

If your problem is only in the USB plugs and PC board, I saved mine from the old one. It's easy to take apart and then solder the connection back if you want to replace just that. PM me if you want the spare I have. I'll send it to you.
