If you were down almost a quart of ATF, then I suspect you still have some air in the system and will need to bleed the air out by cycling the jacks. You'll have to let the pump cool down between each attempt. I don't know if the system has a automatic resetting circuit breaker, but that is a possibility. Otherwise, look for a blown fuse. Depending on the age of your coach, you may need to clean the ground wire where it connects to the frame. That is a common reason for electrical problems.
Finally, check the relay that supplies power to the system. Also, check the relays that turn on or turn off systems depending on the position of the ignition key. They wear out and will start failing intermittently. They are easy to replace and are inexpensive. Good luck.
This is unrelated, by when the jacks start working again, lubricate them with silicone spray, not WD 40. And, I hoped you used MD3 ATF when you filled the fluid tank.
