Just a comment about hydraulic jack, in case someone else has this problem.
I had my jacks down for several days while doing odds and ends to the motorhome. I needed to move it to mow alongside. I raised the jacks, the right rear indicated it was not raised and the jacks down light was on.
I went out and looked it was up. I did it 2 or 3 more times, put down and raised, lights would not go out. I'm reading and thinking low hydraulic fluid or some other dire problem. So I put it down again and went out and looked. We had put a lot of new white rock on the driveway. Up on the footpad was quite a bit of white rock, some of fair size. I thought, might as well clean them off and see what that would do. Well wouldn't you know, apparently the rock was keeping it from going up all the way and registering they were up. That fixed the problem. Just thought this might help someone else. Just didn't realize that would cause that.
