Valid/PowerGear not working
Getting ready to head out tomorrow and the system seems inop.
After trips I park the rig, put on the tire covers and dump the air so the tire covers don't blow off until next trip. The day before a trip I re-leved the rig so I can get the tire covers off. Today I started the rig and put the system in travel mode while the air built up. I got out, pulled the tire covers and did tire pressure checks. When I went in to shut it down and lower the coach (I do this as a way to prevent theft), the system was off and would not power up. I turned the engine off and restarted. The power indicator on the control board lit up for a few seconds then turned off. I pressed the power button but it did not re-power up. After a few attempts I removed the control panel and looked at the circuit board for any corrosion (have read about this being an issue) but found none. I reinstalled the control panel and still no luck. I can get the power light to come on, a tone and after a few seconds it turns off. I tried holding both the all up and all down buttons while the power light was on but it won't go into the test mode.

Any thoughts
