2 of the four lights on my ceiling fan are loose and the bulbs come on and off sporadically. When the fan is running they will not turn on at all. I can feel the sockets are loose so I am assuming there are loose wires somewhere causing this problem. This is a very cheap fan in my rental apartment so I am unaware of the make or model. I tried to just buy a whole new light kit but it was too small.
If it is a rental apartment, best thing is discuss it with your landlord to get somebody to look at it. But it is usually cheaper for them to buy a new fixture and install it. That could cause a electrical fire, let them know that and emphasize on it.
