Title: jacks
Post by: Dave Blystone on February 03, 2015, 02:52:26 AM

I have the jacks that go to the axle  they have always worked with no problem
I brought them  up at wildwood fla and the light said all up
 but I think the passenger front didn't go all up when I hit a bump I could could feel it hitting any ideas??
im going to bring in the room and bring up the jacks and check the oil level fill the pump and cycle the jacks a few times to see if that helps

Dave your plan should work. Sometimes one of the solenoid valves do not seat properly, and allow a jack to creep down a little or it is possible that the jack was never all the way up. Your plan should correct either/both problems. However, if the problem keeps reoccurring, you will probably need to replace a valve.

Dave,

The all up signal can be false if any one of the push button switches sticks in the pushed in position. I have replaced two of mine for sticking in the up position. They are wired in series and when all are pushed in the all up signal is generated even while a jack is not fully up.
