My Atwood jacks did the same thing as yours & my RV repair shop reset the system & now the panel lights up as it should & the shop said all the jacks work fine.
Where did you find someone to do this repair?
My problem is that the control pad will not come on. Brake on, transmission in neutral, motor running. I have acquired a lot of information on the system.
Trouble shooting procedure is to disconnect the + buss from the controller, unplug the Signal Wire Harness, waiting 10 minutes (didn't find out about the 10 minute wait until today), replacing the + buss, (most important) plug the Signal Wire Harness last. I think this is how they reset the system. While the connector was unplugged I confirmed 12 volts from the ignition switch when the ignition was on.
After all this, the "ON" switch still would not work.
I'm about to, sadly, conclude that the controller is bad. I was able to acquire one about 4 years ago when Atwood was in business. They have since been sold off to Dometic and then Leppert bought the leveler business from Dometic. My chances don't look good if the controller is, indeed, bad.
NOBODY has the controllers anymore. I tried a few years ago for a customer and could find no source that had NEW controllers. Remember, the controllers are stated as a FORD controller but you program them for a Diesel with air bag systems. Doug
