Technical Support / Re: How to manually retract front roadside slide

Mike, attached pictures show what the hydrolic pump looks like and a picture of the breaker bar that needs to be reset by pressing it back into the center of the breaker. As previously stated this is on a 07 Contessa so not sure if our location of above the aqua hot will be as your coach is configured. Can you or a mechanic crawl under your generator to spot your breaker close to your hydrolic pump

There are many window brands and types, and accordingly many seals and seal manufacturers..
Try as a starting place (not your seal shown, but searchable from) including help contact info:

Also if they’re Hehr windows, this may be helpful:

I saw this fix also, but its probably not the best, especially for corners pulling away:

You may have to access it from underneath. Challenging, but doable. Good luck.

Frank,
Thanks for your quick response and suggestions. Unfortunately the hydraulic pump is housed in the generator slide which is tied fo the two main slides and won’t open.

I would check the relay switch on the pump motor before messing with hydraulic lines. There will be two big terminals that need to be jumped on the switch. If the pump motor runs while jumped, then the relay switch is most likely bad. Also, there are two small terminals on the relay switch, one is the trigger terminal, the other goes to ground. The trigger wire terminal should have 12 volts when pushing any of the retract/extend buttons inside coach. When pushing any of these buttons, and there still is no power at trigger terminal, then problem is upstream from relay switch. Hope this helps.

I located an old thread referencing my situation, and it appears the “reset switch” is in the generator slide. As you can see in the attachment this gentleman “ bled the hydraulic line” to get the generator slide open. My question is how do I determine which line is the hydraulic line. I’m not very mechanical, and have difficulty determining these things.
As always thanks for your assistance!

Try removing the panel to check if a wire or two have become unplugged.  Unplug the wires and reattach them.  This is possibly the easiest and cheapest fix, and is worth a try.

Technical Support / HWH Computerized Leveling System

« Last post by Rick Mayer on April 02, 2024, 02:15:20 PM »

My HWH leveling system in our 93 Grand Marquis has worked perfectly, both air & hydraulic , for the 14 years we have had the coach.  After parking last Saturday , I started to level the coach using the Air system.  The "Air Operation indicator light" illuminated then went out.  The entire panel is now dead except the "level sensing indicator lights" and the "Travel Permissible" light.  The boots inflate to travel height, so no issue there, just no power to the HWH panel. I have the original manual, ML7797 Manual CHA-K 8-90, but it offers no help trouble shooting the system. Are their  fuses in the system?  I can find no CBs open.
