If yours is like mine, and I suppose it is, you have one ride height valve on rear axle and 2 on front.

With the coach parked on level ground, measure the distance between the front shock absorber bolts. Spec should be 16 and 1/4" inches.

Does coach have a visual lean to one side?
I'm not sure this is what making you jack down light on....it'd have to be a pretty bad lean to one side/corner.

.....but anyway, The controller for that power gear set up in your coach is mounted to the top of the second bay from front on passenger side. There maybe a fabric covered box over it

The controller has a round bottom. A ball rolls around in there and once level the ball makes contact with the level contactors the lights go out.

I've got some pics I'll try to find.... there's also a thread here that goes deep into trouble shooting that system on a American Coach.

Is your coach currently aired up, meaning air bags full?. On my 98 eagle I must turn off levelers for the yellow lights to go out, at that point it begins to air up and get to ride height.

The adjustment is at the lever on the actual valve. One of the bolts is in a slot that allows the lever to adjust.

Make small adjustments, drop air suspension, raise it and when it's stopped, then recheck ride height measurement.
