Problem with HWH Leveler 500 Series

HELP!!!

Travel light on touch control panel will not come on (blue). I had driven about 8 miles and it was fine. Stopped for an hour or so and when I started again, after about 3 miles, the coach started bucking. I then noticed the two front warning lights (red) were on. When I stopped and cut off engine it would not return to "Travel" (blue). Motorhome will level in my driveway but will not return to "Travel" mode. Manual says, "DO NOT DRIVE". Any ideas?

Thanks,

  • There is NOTHING in an HWH system that will affect Engine/Trans driveability. Yes, your travel light did not come on, but your Engine problem is NOT caused by the HWH system. Doug
  • I assume from your other posts you have a 1998 coach, so I'd suspect one or more of your relays are wearing out. I've replaced all of mine several years ago on a 20 year old coach. I hope yours are as easy to find and replace. They do things like making your jacks inoperative when the emergency brake is not on or the transmission isn't in natural, or allow the windshield wipers to work when the engine is running.

    Since they are cheap and easy to replace (normally), I'd suggest replacing the main relays that look like small beer cans with copper posts sticking out. The other smaller relays are probably in or near your main electrical bay.
  • You may have weak springs and your jacks are not fully retracting.
