Leveling jacks- "jacks down" light will not turn off

1998 36 Fleetwood Discovery
I noticed one of my jacks retracting last trip. I could see a leak coming from the pressure line. To get home without hearing that buzzing sound I unplugged the controller. Since, I have replaced the pressure line. I read that this system is self bleeding..
The leveling jacks work perfectly now! I cycled them 3 times. That "jacks down" light will not turn off. The jacks are fully retracted..
I don't know what to do now??
Thx for any and all help!
You guys are a wealth of knowledge!!

The reservoir tank level sensor is activated due to a low fluid level
Had a 94 pace arrow that did this because the tank was mounted in the rear near the exhaust and when the fluid heated up it would expand and come out the vent at the top
The switch inside tells the controller when the jacks are down
The fluid goes down when the jacks are lowered and returns to the tank when raised for travel
If the fluid is low the switch will not be deactivated when the jacks are in travel position thus causing the alarm
This is how the controller knows what’s going on

Thanx for the input! It was low on fluid. I had checked the dipstick and it had fluid on it.. when I went and checked it again, it had fluid on it.. I put a screw driver in that went further than the dipstick It was dry... Put about a quart in it and it went up to the dipstick...
The dipstick does not have any markings on it.. just went up the 3inch stick about an inch... No more light
Once again
Thanx
