How to manually/by pass raise power lift bed?

Question

First major failure on our Journey, and its out of warranty. Went to raise bed and all I get is a faint click. Pulled the controller access panel and red LED is flashing nine times which indicates "Hall power short to ground" which they say is a wiring issue. Reset the controller and killed all power to MH. No luck. Will be Monday before I can get with Winnebago for the wiring diagram.

Called my mobile tech and he is not back until May 1. Well at least I didn't get stuck somewhere besides my driveway. Could have been ugly considering some of the places we were this winter.

Is there a way to manually raise the bed so I can pull in the slide? Or by pass the controller and raise the bed?

I posted on IRV2 a response for you. Do a search and you will find the long thread on this subject. The easy solution short term is to put tape over the sensor to fool it and hold the bed foard up and rest against cavinet when slide is in. There is much more discussion on fixing. Good luck.

Things were so much more simple when we didn't have all these electronic controllers.  They have error codes!  The other day I opened a toaster from the 1950's.  All mechanical!  No sensors.  It worked still, the only reason I opened it was to clean it out real good.
