Today I pulled our Allegro Bus out of the barn and washed it, along with that I power washed the leveling springs to clean them before lubrication. I then attempted to extend the cylinders in order to clean/inspect and lubricate, however, the only thing that happened when I pushed the air down button is all the indicator lights lit on the box. I tried turning all power off, key on accessory and ignition positions, nothing changed. The "off" button does turn all the lights back off.
The mechanism worked fine in April, I'm wondering if the water created a problem at a sensor. It never crossed my mind while spraying them down as those are exposed under the vehicle and subject to the elements. It's back in the barn now so by morning everything should be dry.

This afternoon I did some non-destructive cleaning on the control unit and also replaced all the corroded fuses with new ones. Once done, I connected it up and it tested out 100% with a fully functional system. Picture below!
The wiring would give Thomas Edison heartburn, it resembles a pile of cooked spaghetti. Nonetheless, everywhere I work on the coach there is an honest effort made to clean it up.

GOT IT!! Due only to the assistance from the members on this board. 🙂
I was puzzled yesterday after the suggestion was made to check the fuses on the control module as I could not find a control module. The picture below shows the outside of the firewall, and it has three fuses related to the leveling system. It all resides in large plastic box.
Second picture is the control box I found after I removed a floor trim panel, reached up under the dash area and pulled what appeared to be a metal box after turning it around whereby the fuses could be seen! The schematics told me, you all told me, but I could not locate the box even after looking up in there with a flashlight. The system began working as soon as I pulled the unit out of it's hiding place. So I'll clean it all up and hopefully it won't reoccur.
I cannot thank you all enough for this help!!
God bless, you probably saved our vacation.
