I deployed the jacks and they all went down but driver front has a red and yellow flashing lights. Anyone have an idea on how to fix it?

On our RV we unplug the controller and then reconnect to reset it. Controller in first (front) compartment on drivers side

Is that the control panel?

I'm hoping the photo attached of the contents in our first compartment on the driver's side. In the upper right corner there are two block connectors. red arrow is pointing to them.

On our coach:

Front is yellow-purple (r/f) yellow-green (l/f) black

rear is yellow-blue (r/r) yellow-red (l/r) black

Sometimes unplugging and reconnecting is enough to reset.

Or to raise an individual jack, use jumper wires to connect the yellow wire to ground and other colored wire in the set to 12 volts. [note red and black location for 12v on left wall of compartment]

to lower individual jack, use jumper wire to connect the yellow wire to 12 volts and the other colored wire to ground.

For those uncomfortable identifying the correct wires, the jacks have 1/2-inch hex nuts on the end of the motor. You can attach a 1/2-inch socket to a drill and get that jack raised up in a pinch.

There is a reset procedure I found on the internet. It requires pushing buttons on the control panel in a certain order. Works great. I printed it and keep the copy in the motor home. Motor home not here now or I would try to describe it. I found that I have less problems lowering or raising jacks if I set the fast idle on. It doesn't eliminate the problem with operation but sure helps and reduces the “bad” events. I also carry an electric drill and set of sockets in the event I have to manually raise them with the nut on the bottom of the jack.

******************
Sue was a very helpful customer service rep. She gave us the above procedure in 2012.

I only recently found that having the fast idle (using the cruise control) does help. We also carry the drill, but the jumpers have worked and have never used the drill.

Those reset instructions are handy to have. They worked for me... Until one day they didn't. I ended up removing the (no longer available) control unit and substituting my own full-manual design.
