Middle light and both side lights flashing on leveler system

[run_gmc]

I have a 2004 Bounder 36S (W22 Chassis). The auto-levelers seem to "max out" before the right side of the coach is level. The system just seems to give up and the center light,(which stays green when level) and both r & l lights flash...
anyone have a suggestion as to what's going on?

Started using it when drag racing a :Z'90 GMC pickup. Replaced the stock 4.6L with built 350ci... Open the cutouts & it would shoot flames for the first 60' 🙂 Fun times, but decided on more "sedate" forms of entertainment... :W

Thanks to all of you for your responses... Since this is our 1st Class A, I had a rather large learning curve in the beginning. The reservoir/fluid level seems to have been the culprit. After several cycles, adding fluid after each extension and retraction, I guess I finally got the thing filled. No more problems & the coach is nice and level.

Glad it is fixed. BUT, the problem is/was NOT the fluid in the reservoir. Or the fluid in the lines or in the Cylinders. The ONLY problem lack of fluid will cause in Powergear is Jack down light when retracted due to the reservoir not completely full to turn the float OFF. Now, IF you reservoir was 1/2 full, then yes, there would not be enough fluid to raise each jack enough, but if the reservoir was 1/2 full, you would have a major leak in the system. The fluid cannot evaporate. Doug

Don't know if it's the same situation but recently my Big Foot system wasn't responding to any commands (auto or manual) and various lights were flashing. Called the company and they said sometime a power fluctuation can cause that and I needed to (basically) reboot the system. Took the front plate off, unplugged it, counted to 10, plugged it back in and, TaDa, it worked!

Yep... it's a "Power xxxxx" Whatever is after Power is covered with black paint. Reservoir is under the coach, near the Driver's side front wheel. Fluid is clean & "topped off". Legs sprayed with silicone. Pads & springs are relatively free of dirt. Cycled the system a couple of times, then tried to level in Manual mode. Same result... coach level from front to back,but not left to right. Going to try to re-calibrate level tomorrow. Don't remember seeing anything on the control pad, but will look again. Thanks!

most all of those gassers in and around your model and years were power gear. it says right on the control pad;

FIRST suggestion is to state what Brand of Levelers. There are about 10 different types of Jack systems. Doug

If I remember right mine did that once when I ran out of fluid to push the jacks down any farther. I was pretty out of level though so some jacks were very extended and I think used up all of the fluid in the reservoir before the last jack came all the way down.
I had already driven onto some blocks because I had been trying to keep the front tires from coming off the ground and I had to find more blocks to put under the jacks too so that they weren't over extended.
Mine usually lifts the front first to just a bit above level and then lifts the back one side at a time, and my last rear jack I think just didn't have the fluid left to get all the way down. After stacking blocks under the front jacks and re-leveling again the jack made it down and the blinking didn't happen.
Might also want to verify the jack fluid level is full but remember you have to do that when the jacks are retracted or you will overfill the reservoir and then when the jacks are retracted the reservoir will be overfilled and might make a mess.

You know our 04 pace arrow does that too sometimes, I hope somebody on here has a solution. We are all ears.
