Atwood levellegs motor heads up
I have Atwood electric levellers and had an alarm condition on one of the jacks. I removed the jack after reading a short to ground on the motor leads. After taking the motor apart, I could not find a problem and the armature checked ok with my meter. So, I put the motor back together and rechecked and it again showed a short to ground. Upon further investigation I found that the pigtail for one of the brushes was making contact with the motor housing. I reinstalled the jack and it is working fine. I wanted to pass this on to everyone.
