Happijac Issue -- Intermittent
We have Happijacs on our camper -- this past weekend, there were intermittent cut-outs when running the jacks up/down. This is the hand-held controller: The yellow light would come on almost...

CWT, I wish I had better news about mine, which are still intermittent. Since this started earlier this year, I've always been able to get them to work after the remote light turns yellow between 5 and 10 times. Then finally, it'll stay green and the jacks work normally. Clearly this is no good, as the day will come when the light won't turn green no matter how many 'resets' I do. Then I'll be looking at cranking the jacks by hand.
I've experimented, and all four of the jacks work normally when power is applied individually to them. So the issue is one of three things -- the controller box, the spiral cable, or the remote handset. I've brought the handset in the house and carefully dried it for a week in a container with several packets of silica gel -- no difference. The controller looks like a sealed unit so there is no fixing it. My bet is, the new wireless package -- controller, cable, and handset -- are inevitable. And I'll have to pay in Canadian dollars which adds about 32% to the price. :(
Please let me know if you figure out what's wrong with yours...
For what it’s worth, my brothers handset failed the day he sold his camper. He swapped with mine to get the buyer going and had to beg a refurbished one out of Happijac to replace mine. If there’s any way to find someone else local to try swapping parts, that’s the easiest way to figure out which part is bad,
