Powergear touch pad on/off light will not come on.

The on off light on the Powergear touch pad will not come on. I can not put the jacks down? Help on trouble shooting?
  • I had the same problem. I ended up finding a replacement control panel in a dealer's "junk box". He let me try before buying and it worked fine. Finding a replacement isn't easy. I'd suggest trying anyone to repairs/installs leveling systems and see what they may have removed and saved. Mine was not a perfect match, but it did solve that problem.

    Good luck.
  • In my coach, the jack pump is on the 12V starter battery...but the controller in on the 2 6V coach batteries. One time,I almost started taking things apart. Then....I realized the coach batteries were "off". Magic.

    Hope this helps.
  • One more thing to try. Remove the control panel. remove the plugs and replace them. This will reset some faults and is easy.
  • I have used the jacks since the surge power episode with no problems. The problem was fixed with a lighting control module that was paid for by the electric company.
  • could this be a left over problem from the electrical problems you posted about back in July? Have you used the jacks since then? Whatever happened with that problem?
  • SYSTEM WILL NOT TURN ON, INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT LIGHT
    PROBABLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION

    COACH IGNITION NOT IN RUN POSITION

    TURN IGNITION TO RUN POSITION

    TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK OR NEUTRAL

    PLACE TRANSMISSION IN PARK OR NEUTRAL

    PARKING BRAKE NOT SET SET BRAKE

    CONTROL HAS BEEN LEFT ON FOR MORE THAN FOUR MINUTES, AUTO
    SHUT OFF PUSH ON/OFF BUTTON TWICE

    NO POWER TO CONTROL PIN #5 OF THE 6 PIN CONNECTOR ON THE CONTROL MUST HAVE +12 VDC

    WITH IGNITION IN RUN POSITION, CHECK COACH FUSE OR BREAKER

    GROUND WIRE DISCONNECTED OR SHORTED

    PIN #1 OF THE 8 PIN CONNECTOR IS THE MAIN GROUND. TEST FOR CONTINUITY WITH
    GROUND.

    NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH WIRES SHORTED
    JUMPER PINS #2 AND #6 AT THE 6 PIN CONNECTOR ON THE CONTROL.

    IF JACKS OPERATE, REPAIR OR REPLACE WIRES OR NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH

    PARKING BRAKE WIRE NOT GROUNDED, OR FAULTY PARKING BRAKE SWITCH
    CHECK CONTINUITY BETWEEN PIN #1 OF THE 6 PIN CONNECTOR AND GROUND.
    IF THERE IS NO CONTINUITY, THE SWITCH IS BAD, THE PARKING BRAKE IS NOT SET, OR
    THE WIRES TO THE SWITCH ARE BAD.

    FAULTY CONTROL IF ALL PREVIOUS CAUSES AND ACTIONS DO NOT APPLY REPLACE CONTROL
  • I would first check for a blown fuse or tripped breaker. Then loose connections including the ground.
    There is also a troubleshooting section in the owners manual.
