As we were driving this morning, the jack lights above the passenger seat started beeping and blinking. We pulled over and checked but the were all up. It stopped and we got back on the road. Then it did it again, but stopped by itself? my ideas?

Mine does this all the time. While I am not 100% sure this is why, my theory is that when we drive around, the fluid in the hydraulic tank sloshs around somehow triggering one of the alarms to sound. Mine usually does it on hard turns.

Send Power Gear an email, they will respond quickly.

If they are hydraulic check the fluid level. On my Power Gear if the level drops a smidgen below the top it will sound alarms.

We had the same issue - check the hydraulic fluid level in the tank. I added a bit to bring it to the proper level, and the beeping stopped. Annoying, but effective in getting your attention!

X2...common problem and easy solution. The sensor is located pretty close to the top of the tank so the fluid level doesn't need to drop much before setting off the alarm. Been there....

The tank is located passenger side, last compartment.

Thank you everyone. Now one last question. Do you fill it where that little black cap is?

pagosajoe · 11-26-2014, 08:40 AM

Yup -- the cap is on the top of the tank.

Thank you again for the info on filling the tank. We did it this morning, and hit he road. No alarms!!!! Thank you!! Gotta love this page!!!

Glad you fix it! Did you find out why the tank was low on fluid? Leak somewhere?

Tomandjimmy · 12-01-2014, 06:06 AM

The reason it was leaking... and we didn't notice until a gentleman was frantically waving us down. After driving 400 plus miles.
The Bay door latch was not working and the door had been swinging open and closed. I guess the pressure change was making it leak. The kicker is, all the other latches on the coach had that dry white spray grease on them...except that one. We managed to get it bungided (sp) and made it back to Fort Worth

I have a 2013 fleetwood 40E with a water leak in the cabinet between the stove and the sink. The water seems to be coming up from the bottom. No visible leaks anywhere at the sink, drain or anything to do with the washer. Hope this is the right area to post this.

Had this happen this weekend. Brought out the manual and as others have said it's an easy fix. More fluid, my 2009 needed Dexron 3 transmission fluid, about $3.
