Warning light meaning 2014 Dutchstar

I’ve searched everywhere for what it means when this warning light is on. Coach is parked, been parked for a while with no issue. I can’t get picture to post but it looks like a jack and it’s above the check engine light. Any ideas?

There is one that looks like a "T" and is not in the Manual. It's an indicator that the Winegard power or crank up antenna is up. Had it come on while driving a few years ago. The antenna button was accidentally pushed and went up about a foot.

Does your HWH jack control indicate you are in “travel” mode ?

Then go outside and look at the jacks, I believe the light on the dash is telling you one or more isn’t completely stowed in full retracted position.

I would try putting jacks down, spraying liberally with WD-40 on all shiny jack surfaces. Pay particular attention to the area where the seals are. Wipe the jack rams with clean rag, then spray them again and WD-40 on this time. Now try storing them again.

They will probably retract fully after this. I spray mine every month or so to keep them working well.

... and if they still don't fully retract, put a 2x4 or similar under the offending jack(s) and pry up. Then, it'll be time to replace the springs. Just happened to me in late summer 2021.
