Need help bad!!

My stabilizing jack and slide outs operate on hydraulic. I retracted the slides and it quit operating. There is a selenoid with heavy gauge wire attached to it near the pump, that clicks on and off when power is sent to it. However, no hydraulic activation. I don’t have schematics to refer to. Plenty of power to the selenoid, I tried tapping it and jumping it, no luck. Suggestions please!! Also is there any way to manually operate the two front stabilizers to raise and lower in order to hookup?
Thanks, David

    The breaker could be located anywhere in the hydraulic compartment. It was an son of a booger to find. Mine was three feet away from the pump against the front wall behind a bundle of wires. Apparently, they can place it anywhere. I will post some pictures when I get set up at my destination.

    Figured it out!! There is an extremely difficult breaker to find!! Finally after much investigation I found it and it had an extremely small reset lever on it. Reset and all is working well!!

    The pumps 12V, check the battery and make sure it has full charge. Likely you have the LCI Ground Control 3.0. Here's the manual with trouble shooting: https://support.lci1.com/ground-control-3.0-support-ground-control-3.0-onecontrol-touch-panel

    Verify the main fuse is good.
    Just because the solenoid clicks doesn't mean you have main power to it.

    Heartland manual says the front hydraulic jacks and the hydraulic slides will have manual overrides. Says check manual from maker of the slide out for how to do that. Says for the front jacks, use the crank into the "alignment tube" up front.

    They use the term "stabilizer jacks" for the ones at the back of the trailer
