Power gear Jacks alarm sounds when retracted
Does anyone know if these Jacks on a 2002 American coach have their own reservoir or are supplied by the main chassis tank ?

I fought mine for a year. Top it off then a month later it would start beeping going around corners. I finally unplugged the sensor. Haven’t topped it off in years.
The problem created doing that is that it won’t beep at you if you put it in gear with the jacks down. The light still lights up tho.
Most Powergear systems, IF the Float switch IS functional, the system will Auto retract if the RV is put in Gear and Emergency brake released. The Float switch is available, how come you don't just replace it OR make sure it is installed correctly? The orientation of the Float switch is critical for correct operation and to prevent false alarms. It MUST be perfectly vertical to operate correctly. Going around corners and beeping indicates the Switch is NOT correctly installed. Doug
I too have an issue with the Power Gear system. I store the rig under a cover, but the rig is out of level as the driveway slants. when I start it up, it alarms for about 10 seconds then stops. I haven't noticed any bleed down on any jack. What do you think and where is the switch located? This is on a 2017 Jayco. Thanks, Don
