If you replaced the bulbs and it did not solve the issue it more than likely is a blown ballast. Ballasts are meant to last at least a few years, but sometimes they give out much sooner, just as long as your covered by warranty with whoever you purchased them through, if not you just need to buy a replacement or two.

If it was an all of a sudden kind of thing it's probably a grounding issue somewhere because ballasts get flicker before they go out.

problem resolved the bulbs and ballasts were all ok turns out there were just a couple wires left exposed that had built up some corrosion a little sauder and shrink wrap fixed it
