Rear RVA Jacks, no power
« on: July 15, 2012, 02:00:44 AM »
All three jacks worked last year when we bought our coach. In November Jack noticed that the 2 rear jacks were not working. Having a LOT of other fixits and projects, we did not get a chance to try to trouble shoot. We have power on the front driver arm panel but none of the jacks work. On the engine bay there is power and the front jack extends and retracts, the rear jacks do nothing. We have tried the trouble shooting guide on the RVA site, it was not much help. Can anyone point us in the direction to start here? Are we looking at a fluid shortage? Is it solenoid or fuses we should be finding? Any ideas would be appreciated.

If you are low on hydraulic oil you should have a buzzer sounding in the driver's area. So if you have no buzzer, the oil level should be OK. You probably have a solenoid problem, however it will require a through check of the circuits to determine what the problem is. You may benefit from call RVA technical support for help in tracing their circuits.

Could be as simple as cleaning the control pad. RVA had me blow air (like a key board cleaner) and a bit of contact lceaner on the switches by the drivers seat and they work fine. Our 1997 Patriot has control switches in the panel behind the right rear bay door. Do you have a control there and did you try that one?

The rear bay panel will raise and lower the front jack, the rear jacks do nothing . The front panel has power but none of the jacks will work.
