I just noticed that with all the jacks retracted. I push the off button. I start the motorhome and while driving I noticed the on button light is still faintly on. I can't remember is this normal? I stopped turned off the engine and turned on acc I turned the jacks on and the light is a lot brighter. Then I turn it off and the on button light is still on but again faintly. PS the jacks go up and down fine.

Not normal on mine. It goes off when I press OFF, turn the key off, or after it times out.

Instead of turning jacks off let the system time itself off and see if your yellw light goes off.
The solenoids have white ground leads to the chassis frame and that location on frame may need to be cleaned for better ground contact on frame.

Its not the yellow light it is the red light at the on button

007 is on the right track. the store jacks time out period for manual push button systems is 2 minutes. the automatic store time is 6 minutes. try it and see if that works. if you have a problem with jacks extending while traveling, push the store button every time you go out the drive, and let it time out and turn off. that works every time if the rest of the system is in order. if not, download that service manual. the diagnosis is in there. if not call me at 602-549-3638. maybe i can help.

I went out put the jacks down and retracted them, and just let it time out and the red on button light still is on?

Your touch panel is grounded through , the main control box, check the connections between the touch panel and then the ground wire from the control box to the chassis.
If the light is glowing with the ignition key off, then there may be internal problem in the touch pad.
Is your control panel on the floor or on the dash?
Did you have the carpets cleaned recently ?
Added humidity may have triggered a bridge on the internal circuit board, it doesn't take much power to make an led light glow.

The red light is not on when the ignition is off. But is on all the time when the ignition is on (when the engine is running or when it is turned on acc.). We have not had the carpets cleaned YET !! Thanks for your help

Ron, is the touch pad actually powered up ? or is the light just glowing ?
If you hit the store button , does the store timer start over?

The light (the red power button light) is just glowing faintly when I start the motor or turn the key on. Without turning the touch pad on. When I turn the touch pad on it is much brighter? P.S. I did check the control box under the dash and the pad and all connections seem to be tight.

Up Date !!! WE took motorhome to hwh (only 45 min away) They said the circuit board in the touch pad was bad. So they replaced it and everything is fine.
