Landing gear problem

WyomingMan

Just bought a 2005 Gulfstream fifth wheel. My landing gear is directly wired to my batteries. I have tested the batteries and show 12.92 volts. My landing gear will only work when I am plugged into my truck. Any ideas what the problem is and why it is not working when not plugged into my truck? Thanks for the help.

I have a disconnect switch that kills the legs and 12 volt system in the leg control compartment. Check to see if you have one too.

I have a 30 amp in line fuse to my landing gear. It's kind of hidden in the battery/landing gear compartment up front. It pops anytime I run the jacks up a little too high.
If fuse is popped it would not work period.

Any chance you have a breaker in series that you are missing?
