RV Repair: Leveling jacks, battery terminals, dc motor
QuestionI have a 1989 Fleetwood Southwind, my leveling jacks wont come down. I have tried crossing it to the solenoid, & checked the fuse, but I don't know much else about RVs. Do I need a new solenoid or can I put them down manually?
AnswerSince they all don't work, check the battery for power. Make sure the fuse from the battery is not blown. That most likely is a DC motor since you would likely level the RV before you hook up shore power. Find the connector for on of the jacks. Disconnect and put a DVOM on the terminals that feed the jack. Have someone press the switch and see if you get power. You could also have corrosion on the battery terminals. Check for a good ground.
