I hear there are problems with this wiring harness. I have electric jacks on a 2008 35e bounder. My rear jacks seem to be over extending. My left rear motor was just replaced due to water in the boot .Have reclamped all 4 jacks and siliconed the boots as well.

Does anyone know if the harness could cause the over extension problem?

I have had the same repairs made to my jacks on my 2008 southwind. have you recalibrated "level"? maybe the "brain" is thinking different and you need to redo the "level" setting.

I have an appointment to get that done . It's just that I hear of a lot of problems with this harness and thought that maybe it could be my problem.

I have a 2008 Terra 34B with the electric Power Gear system. Here are the calibration instructions.

Setting Zero Level Point
Before auto leveling features are available, the vehicle level zero point must
be set. This is the point to which the system will return when Auto Level
Mode is activated.
To set the zero point (controller module must be fully secured in production
intent location), first use Manual Level Mode and a carpenters or torpedo
level to get the vehicle at the desired level point. Then activate the Level
Zero Point Configuration Mode. This mode is enabled by performing the
following sequence:
1. Turn the panel off
2. Within 20 seconds, perform the following:
• Press the FRONT button 5 times.
• Press the REAR button 5 times.
3. At this point all LED outputs will flash, and the alarm will be off. You are
now in Level Zero Point Configuration Mode.
4. Once in Level Zero Point Configuration Mode, hit the RETRACT ALL
button 3 times to set the zero point. Verify that all LED’s on the touch pad are
off, except the ON/OFF LED which should be flashing.
5. Turn the touch pad off, and then on again. Press the RETRACT ALL button
to retract all jacks.
6. Press the AUTO button to automatically level the coach. Verify that:
• Jacks are dropped to the ground
• Selected jacks are then extended to level the coach.
• When auto level is complete, the coach has returned to the
programmed level zero point. The green Power Gear LED in the center
of the leveling buttons should be illuminated.
• If the system does not level the coach, but instead all lights on the
touch pad illuminate, this means that the leveling zero point was not set
and you will need to repeat the calibration sequence.
7. Turn the touch pad off, and then on again. Press the RETRACT ALL button
to retract all jacks.
8. Set up of the control is now complete.
