- Home_SkilletExplorer IIParking brake set?
- fowlthingExplorerno parking brake on the fifth wheel..
I unplugged the control unit and reconnected and got these lights to come on
but that is it - mailman-retExplorerHave you made an attempt to contact the manufacturer to see if they could guide you to a resolution? August 17th found us nearly halfway to our destination in Pennsylvania,and I couldn't locate my heart meds in the TT. Mistakenly attempted opening one of the slides to get into the closet without grounding and leveling it. Our "In Command" retaliated and erased that slide. I contacted Dutchman, the manufacturer, and they walked me through a couple of steps to correct it. Nothing worked. The gave me the phone number to A.S.A, the engineers in control of "In Command" and in three short instructions, I had full control again. Two weeks have gone by now, and no bills from either. You have the same leveling system as our DENALI has.
- fowlthingExplorerThanks. I am too tired to do anything else tonight. I sent a chat message to Lippert earlier. But no response. Yet.
- mailman-retExplorerI called the phone number on the brochure to get hold of a person and it took less than half an hour to get the resolution to my mess up. I didn't want to catch someone at their computer.
- fj12ryderExplorer IIIUnless it's really complicated perhaps you could share how you resolved your issue. Especially if it's the same leveling system.
- fowlthingExplorerManual override of the hydraulic jacks wasn’t very difficult. Used impact wrench and Allen wrench.
Going to buy a new control panel and see if that solves the issue. - fowlthingExplorerReplaced the Lippert panel. More lights come on. But. The LCD does not.
Any suggestions are welcome. - fowlthingExplorerI have ordered the control module that is in the front storage compartment.. maybe it will do the trick
FYI figured out that after opening the valve for the front legs... we could hit a slide out button and the front legs would raise and level.. little easier than the impact wrench in side the storage compartment. - fowlthingExplorerFound the problem. And it took a voltage meter. The fuse in the front storage bin on the wire from the battery to the control module was only allowing 11 volts of juice. The fuse was lit up and showed continuity.
Also Lippert says the wire from the control panel should be connected directly to the battery not to the block near the battery.
I did that and put a new fuse in and it all works. 2 volts low and it would not work. Hope this helps someone else in the future.
