Title: HWH Air Leveling Hard Reset Location?
Post by: Brent Hohlweg on July 22, 2013, 06:31:37 AM

Hi all,

Does anyone know exactly what/where the hard reset switch looks like in the HWH box located in the electrical panel area of our 2004 Beaver Marquis. The HWH worked great when we picked up coach, but has since been stuck in TRAVEL Mode. No other buttons or lights work on the HWH 600... So believe a "hard reset" will hopefully get the unit to work again.

Cheers Brent

Have you checked the fuses in the leveling control module in the front electrical bay?  In my coach the module is an aluminum box on the ceiling of the bay.  The box is about 1' x 8" x 2".  Remove the four screws and the cover comes off.  There is a row of about twenty auto-type fuses.  When I checked mine recently, two fuses had blown out.  The air leveling panel had no lights other than the travel light.  Replacing the two fuses fixed the problem.

I never saw a reset and am very happy that replacing the fuses completely fixed the problem.

Hi David,

Yes I have my HWH in that exact same spot also. I was hoping the same thing upon opening the HWH control box, but alas while there was a fuse blown... upon replacing it (the 15amp ACC labelled fuse)... it blew again. Then another 7.5amp fuse blew after that one.

So hoping that somewhere in or around that HWH box someone knows where a "hard reset" button might be :-)

Cheers Brent

Found this:  http://forum.bacrallies.com/m-1345317727/    It may help a little, but it does not say exactly where the reset is.  It does say there is a reset though.

I also found this:  http://www.hwhcorp.com/ml32304.pdf    This file speaks of a "lighted reset switch" and a "master warning light."  I am thinking you and I have near the same coaches, at least the same HWH leveling systems.  I don't remember seeing a "lighted reset switch," nor a "master warning light."  This file doesn't tell us where these two things are, except that in the picture it shows them below the key panel.  My coach is at the shop getting fluids changed until later today.  I will take a look later when I get the coach back from the shop.

Brent,
If you are blowing fuses, sounds like you've got problems other than a reset issue.

Wasn't there a discussion here awhile back where a member found loose or short circuited wires under the "armrest" control panel?  Sounds like Brent's got a serious short somewhere.

Well... I went to the shop to fetch the coach... and was told the primary fuel filter holder-housing is cracked... so they are looking for a suitable replacement and the coach will remain in the shop for at least overnight.  I wonder how that happened...?  It was likely cracked when I purchased the coach last August... but was not leaking, or I would have noticed it dripping on my driveway.  Maybe tomorrow, Brent...

On our Beaver Monterey, there is a HWH reset button next to the switch that powers the in and out tray for the generator. I have attached a picture.

Ours is in the same spot.  Resetting likely won't help though, until he finds out what's blowing fuses.

Yes I'm suspecting I have a short somewhere as today I looked again in the electrical bay and found no hard switch for my 2004 Beaver Marquis. No hard switch behind the electrical control panel located at the drivers cockpit area. Plus when I replaced the 15amp fuse again for slot #3 in the HWH controller box in (which is marked BATTERY) it blew right away.

I had the day time running lights modified to import it into Canada and I'ms starting to suspect that something must be wired incorrectly and causing the HWH to be stuck in "travel mode" and continue to blow same fuses (Slot #3 and also Slot #5 (marked ACC) when I start the coach.

You might contact HWH to find out precisely what might be blowing those particular fuses.  The one marked bat sounds like a master feed fuse.

I'd still remove the upholstered panel to the driver's left to see if you can get at the underside of the control panel, or dismount and remove it, and look for shorted wiring.  It wouldn't be the first time noted here.
