Need a little help

We just picked up our 06 30 RSO Limited and are driving home, it's Saturday night.
Pulled into our campground, went to lower rear jacks and they don't work. They've worked the past 3 nights no problem. I've looked in my manual and fuse box, nothing. Does anyone know where to find the fuse or a reset button. Wires look okay on jacks.

Also tried Excels site but am unable to find the jack manufacturers manual on-line.
Thanks in advance

Do you have hyd.? Also are they on remote pendant? I had replaced pendants twice on mine in the first year- it has been okay since. Ours is an 07. Lippert is the hyd. provider, they along with Peterson Ind were quite helpful to me.

Brian I assume you have the Outriggers....here is a LINK to two Post I did in the '101' sticky above. One is on the Outriggers and another on the emergency operation of the jacks.

Most common causes lately seem to have been the switch with moisture issues. Is the jack making any noise, like a clicking noise, when trying to extend? The fuse for mine was located in the forward, generator, compartment.

My jacks won't deploy unless the emergency brake is set.

The rear jack fuses are in-line with front jacks. Fuses located in generator compartment close to right hand front jack. Had same issue, the front right jack is in same line as rear left jack etc.

Thank you

I really appreciate all your help. I was able to locate the problem, blown fuse and get a new one. The rear jacks work fine again.
Thanks again.

Just FYI....if it blow a fuse.....as workshop said, I'd be watching the control switches and check them for water intrusion. That is the weak link of that system. Seems like someone said they put a bit of silicon caulk on where the rubber weather boot contacts the metal switch itself. rockin'
