HWH Hyd/Air Leveling System problem
While attempting to level my 1999 Beaver Marquis, I pressed the AIR leveling button on the HWH Hyd/Air leveler and rather than light up, several lights blinked on and off. Pressed again, same thing.
I had used the system before and it was always simply press AIR twice and it would auto level using the air bags.
I ignored it for a while, and in the meantime moved the coach a few feet as it had been blocking my driveway. Once stopped again, I tried again but this time nothing happened, ie the panel had no life at all to it - no lights.
For the first time this year we did have cold weather in the 30s on that day, and in the past when I've used the system its been significantly warmer (40-50s). Also I hadn't driven it anywhere in 3 months or so, and did drive it about 30 miles from my storage location to my home. Up until that point I had used the leveling system while at the storage location with slide out (did not have the slide out this particular time) and with slide in and it had always worked (maybe 4-5 times in the past 3 months or so). I don't have much of a history with this coach as I did purchase it in September, 2013.
Another thing is, I had replaced my bose radio so I have been playing with wires in that area, but the control panel is not in the dash, its to the left of the driver and at the very rear of the "side dash" area, so I didn't think that would be the issue.
I've read in other places that I might be able to press a reset button in the wiring service cabinet beneath the driver's side front. The coach is in storage so what I am looking for are some troubleshooting ideas for when I go back.
