1999 Southwind 36Z Power Gear Motor will not turn off
I have a 1999 Southwind 36Z that I am bringing back to life after several years on non-use. Many things did not work when I got it including the Hydraulic Leveling System. I discovered that a solenoid was missing from the Battery Control Center (BCC) and I installed a new one. Then many system came back to life including the leveling system but with one oddity.
When I turn the ignition to ACC to apply power to the Hydraulic system the Hydraulic motor immediately starts and you can hear the relief valve squealing. When I press the on button on the manual leveler control panel(Power Gear 500210) and lower the jacks the squeal goes away and operating the jacks appears to be normal. Once I am done leveling and turn the panel off the hydraulic motor continues to run and the relief valve squeal commences so I immediately turn the ignition to off.
I repeat the process quickly to raise the jacks which is working as expected. In order to drive somewhere I open the BCC panel and pull the leveling jack fuse prior to starting the RV and heading down the road. Once I park and want to use the jacks I reinsert the fuse and lower the jacks.
Any ideas on what is causing the motor to run continuously when power to the system is present? I did have to replace the starter solenoid as well but don't think that is the issue but could be wrong.
Thanks.
