Auto levelers not working. Help please.
The key pad lights up like it usually does but the jacks dont engage or do anything.
Ideas???

Sometimes I have to reset the parking brake. Looks like you have no error lights but doesn't hurt to check all of the requirements again. Can you speed up your engine? Turn on the a/c so the idle speed goes up.

I hope someone else will chime in. Did the gen start due to low voltage?

I would turn off ALL DC power and reset.
Can you do manual level? Can put in gear and see if it goes into emergency retract. All lights on panel will flash.

Fluid level full, fuse isnt blown, cycled parking break. Nothing works.
Have a call into Fleetwood tech support for tomorrow. Im still under factory warranty. Luckily we are on an extremely level pad so other than a bit of sway we dont notice.
Im hoping worst case scenario i can get a mobile tech out here before Wednesday. Anyone know of a good Mobile Service around Hot Springs, Arkansas?

Remove the panel (4 screws) and unplug the 2 smallest connectors, wait a few seconds and reconnect the 2 you just unplugged. It is what I do when my Power Gear jacks light up but nothing works. Let us know if it works.

I just leave the power on so I can try it before remounting it. It has always worked for me.

Ok. So do everything just like Im going to level it. Leave motor running, turn the leveling keypad on and then pull the wires for a few seconds then plug them back in?
Im pretty mechanically inclined but these coaches intimidate the hell out of me with all their systems Ive never had any experience tinkering with.

I try to level, pad lights up but jacks don't work. I remove the panel, unplug, replug and then check for operation. They have always worked but I wait to see if they work before replacing the panel.

If you try to put it in gear, with the foot brake on, you should get at least one alarm
Sure sounds like some interlock isn't closed or open which ever the case may be

I have the same Power Gear system. Do you have a dtisconnect switch for your CHASSIS batteries? If you, turn the chassis batteries off for 5 minutes and then turn it back on. If you don't have a switch, disconnect the ground wire from the chassis batteries , wait 5 minutes and reconnect the wire. This worked for me when my jacks act strangely. (3 times in 7 years)
