Auto levelers

05 Fleetwood Ex. 39L. All jacks are up but buzzer and all lights on leveling panel keep flashing and beeping. Drove home with no problem. Now they don't want to level the couch at all. Won't go down but keep beeping and flashing. Any suggestions??? Thanks. Also have six speed Allison transmission with a economy mode. Never used it till this trip. Don't know if it helped or now. When I turned it on a green light came on. Now it is a red light. Nothing in manual. Thought we may be on a alight uphill climb but didn't make any difference. Up hill or down hill. Anyone else have these problems. Any help would be appreciated. Thanking you in advance......

    If this is a hydraulic unit. Check the fluid level in the tank for the jacks. There is a sensor in the tank that closes when the fluid is returned to the tank after the jacks are retracted. If you have leak there will not be enougn fluid to close that switch/solenoid. You can add fluid ATF if that is the case. If the jacks are fully up, the fluid full, you may have a bad sensor. In this case you can disconnect the alarm at the console or switch. It's usually only 1 wire. This will get you back on the road BUT make dam sure you stop often and inspect each jack on your way to a repair shop or home. The thought of jack dropping at 60mph makes me cringe.

    If the jacks are hydraulic, then the are forced down with hydraulic pressure and retracted by powerful springs. Not much chance of dropping down at 60 MPH.

    It is in default mode. Push all 4 ( front,rear,left,right) buttons at the same time unill it beeps. Turn off and try again with trans in netural and parking brake on.

    If you have Power Gear levelers like I do you might try emailing the company through their web site. I have had to do so twice and had quick and accurate responses. Perhaps do the same with Allison. Good luck.

    - parking brake off?
    - can you turn off the panel manually?
    - maybe pull the fuse and see if that resets the microprocessor?
