Auto Park Brake Issue

Good evening, my first post hope all is well.
I own a 2000 Safari Trek 2830 with P32 custom chassis. Recently the rats ate into one of my JII leveling jack hoses. Fluid is now low, alarm bong is going off. Auto Park Brake is on and will not release. Are the two systems connected some how? I switched out the relay and both green and gray sensor switches. Brake still does not release. Any suggestions before calling an expensive Mobil mechanic.
Tomorrow I will fill the leveler pump reservoir but I doubt it will work. I did do a temporary simple repair to the hose.
Respectfully,
Gene

    Well I got the alarm to stop on the leveling system by filling the tank. I thought there might be a connection but no luck. I disconnected the battery for a day to see if that might reboot the system, but no luck either. I’m going to check the relay to see if it is the same amps. Does it have to be the same 50 amp?

    The leveling jack system and the Auto Park Brake are usually separate, but if the leveling system is low on fluid, it might be affecting the brake. Filling the reservoir is a good start, but since you’ve tried that, it’s worth checking if there’s a connection or sensor issue that could be causing the brake to stay engaged.

      While I am sure the OP would find this helpful, this post is 5 years old and the OP hasn't been here since.
