Jacks wont come down
We have a 2001 Winnebago Adventurer 32' purchased last week. It has a workhorse chassis. We have tried everything to get the jacks down. It has a pull button park brake. With the park brake set, the engine running, the leveler board on, a yellow light indicates which side to level. . However nothing happens when the uparrow is pressed. The pump motor kicks in but jacks will not budge. All fuses are ok and park brake reseviour is
full. . What next?

The buttons show what will happen to the RV when the button is pushed, not what the jacks will do. Pushing the up arrow lowers the jacks and raises the vehicle, pushing the down arrow raises the jacks and lowers the vehicle.

Sounds like the solenoids are not energizing thus hydraulic fluid will not operate the jack.
Do any of the levelers come down?
If not check fuses on the control panel.

Try it with the engine off. It might be interlocked. Think about it, Why would you want your jacks down if the motors running, are you going to drive off with the jacks down?
Mine automatically retract when the engine starts in case I forgot to retract them.

The book says to turn the engine to accessory and then turn on the leveler control panel. . But the accessory does not work. . Is there a fuse or something? The previous owner said to start the engine and then operate the levelers. .

ignition switch
Another question. . My instructions for extending the leveling jacks on our 2001 winnebago adventurer says to turn the ignition switch to accessory. The acc switch does not operate anything. . Like the radio etc. Since my jacks wont extend could that be the problem? We have a workhorse chassis. The leveling operation panel also wont work in acc.?

If you have an HWH leveling system, it should be wired up to operate with the ignition switch in the ACC. possision, possible fuse or bad switch? The main relay, pump,solinoids and resivoir are an assembly, resivoir is about 6"x6" x12" with a screw cap check with all levelers retracted. There was another post ,with a similar issue , pump ran but no lift from any leveler, and I believe the problem was a "shuttle valve " that needed cleaning, as it was by-passing all pressure from the pump back to the resivoir. I'll try and track it down , then direct you to it.

If all else fails follow the pump sound and it should lead you to the reservoir. The pump is usually mounted on top of it. There should be a breather cap mounted on top of the reservoir, remove it and there is a dip-stick attached to the bottom to measure the oil level. Sounds like it's low on oil. Keep us posted as to what you find...Jim

Actually we took it to an rv repair shop and they have checked all fuses, solonoids, fluids,etc. He is going to check the ignition switch for a bad acc connection as the leveling panel does not power on in that position. He also has a call in to hwh and waiting for them to call back. I am sure we will be using this site for more info as we happily cross the country in our Winnie!

fixed!
Problem solved! It was a 10 amp fuse to the radio which caused the acc position on the ignition to not work. . Which did not allow the levelers to extend. . . An expensive fuse but well appreciated and will check here first for advice. . Thanks everyone for your input!

 Glad you got it fixed, and thank you for posting the resolution. That info might help another camper someday!
