Air leveler system help

Ok, help!! We,re getting ready for a trip in a few days, so took our 2009 Camelot in to a local Auto a/c shop to have the dash air checked over, didn't think it was cold enough (separate story). They piddle around and have the coach for 3 days, I pick it up yesterday, the house batteries are very low, so I crank up the gen you to start charging, crank the engine and start building air pressure, and as I start to get ready to move, I try to turn on my Valid Power Gear air leveling system, hit the power button, nothing! Nothing I do gets it on, but as I start driving, it beeps, comes on lights up, beeps and powers blank again. It does this every 5-6 seconds all the way home. When I stop at a light, it stays off. I get home, I can't lower or level the coach, so I get her plugged in and recharge the batteries all night, this morning, no ditterence. Now I know they were in the front generator bay working on the dash air, could they have done something there that could cause this, or does anyone know where to start looking for fuses, etc.? Thanks!!

Also, I have dealt with Valid's tech support and found them quite helpful.

I have them valid system as well. Look in the drivers side electrical bay. I had a very similar issue as you describe and a wiring harness was loose where it plugs into the circuit board.

Also check all the fuses related to the leveling system in the front run bay. I had exactly your problem and one small 5 amp fuse had burnt out.

I did check and all fuses and plugs were good. I called Valid's support line, the tech thinks I have a bad keypad, so I'll try to have one overnighted on Monday and hope that fixes it. Have no idea what they cost...

Please update once you get the keypad installed.

Thanks.

A lot, from Valid, look on eBay. I have replaced my pad twice and one time even had the tech from Valid tell me there was one on eBay!

I have to say, Valid's tech support people were great, they DID overnight the new keypad to me, and it DID fix the problem. It's working good as new! I'd like to find a cheaper source for parts as they were VERY expensive, but I haven't had any luck finding any other source yet. Thanks for the great support from here!!!

Yes they are expensive. I had to buy a valve from him in a special tool. No other options
