I am having a problem with my HWH jacks as well as my slides. I have a 1999 Winnebago Chieftain, and at times when I set the park brake my indicator lite tells me my brake is not set and thus the jacks will not go down. I try several times putting the brake on and off and it will eventually hit the sweet spot and allow the jacks to go down.
My question is this, does anyone know where I can find the switch or sensor that the HWH system has to see is engaged before it will allow the system to work? I am assuming it is a loose connection somewhere on the brake pedal, sometimes all I have to do is just shake the pedal side to side and it will work, but it never seems to do it when we are in a hurry.
I thank you in advance for your help
on my 99 chieftain, you really had to mash down on the emergency brake to let the jacks operate. my right rear jack was slow coming up, chattered a bit, I put a 2x4 under it to pry it up to get it started. then one day just locked down. had to remove it and get a new cylinder to get it to work.
