Leveling jacks would not retract
So, as is my habit I went out to get gas before our trip tomorrow. Like to get the unit out to do that to check for issues early.
I switched on the ignition and pressed the all retract button and nothing happened. I could hear solenoids engaging, but no whine of the pump allowing the jacks to retract.
Got my son to man the console so I could check the system from the business end. All 4 solenoids engage, but the pump didn't do the job it needed.
Got out the meter, but without a wiring diagram it's a crapshoot that I'm putting my probes on anything meaningful.
Began troubleshooting, thought "I'll check other sensors" I disengaged the parking brake. The panel beeped and after a few seconds the jacks retracted. Worked like normal after that.
Any ideas? I need to know a bit more about how these operate electrically. Very strange. Ignition was on, voltage on the vehicle and house batteries was normal....no clue here.
