2016 Fleetwood Excursion 35B Power Gear Jacks
Went to put down jacks, did not seem like they were working. Went out and looked under coach and all the jack fluid was on the ground. Don't know if motor failed or hose. Jacks remained up.
Was going to drive it to FL and take it to dealer I bought from for some other issues. Jacks are up.
Two questions:
Is it ok to drive it like this and get it when I get there? Obviously would not use jacks.
Can I bypass the alarm that goes off as soon as I put in drive/release the break
Thanks
You should be fine with the jacks up.
If oil is in the vicinity of the reservoir, you should be able to see something there, with all the solenoids and hoses passing oil. Be sure that the reservoir cap is intact, just for druthers.
Try pulling all the connectors apart while in there for shutting down the alarm and with that slides should still work if reasonably level.
You might also try filling the tank with Dextron III or IV for shutting down the alarm. Just don't be using the jacks, except for maybe locating the leak and just for what it takes. Then refill with jacks up, of course and hopefully someone didn't fill it with the jacks down. History is always important for troubleshooting.
Where in Florida?
