Powergear touch pad on/off light will not come on.

[artillery6]

The on off light on the Powergear touch pad will not come on. I can not put the jacks down? Help on trouble shooting?

I had the same problem. I ended up finding a replacement control panel in a dealer's "junk box". He let me try before buying and it worked fine. Finding a replacement isn't easy. I'd suggest trying anyone to repairs/installs leveling systems and see what they may have removed and saved. Mine was not a perfect match, but it did solve that problem.

Good luck.

In my coach, the jack pump is on the 12V starter battery...but the controller in on the 2 6V coach batteries. One time,I almost started taking things apart. Then....I realized the coach batteries were "off". Magic.

Hope this helps.

One more thing to try. Remove the control panel. remove the plugs and replace them. This will reset some faults and is easy.

I have used the jacks since the surge power episode with no problems. The problem was fixed with a lighting control module that was paid for by the electric company.

could this be a left over problem from the electrical problems you posted about back in July? Have you used the jacks since then? Whatever happened with that problem?

I would first check for a blown fuse or tripped breaker. Then loose connections including the ground.
There is also a troubleshooting section in the owners manual.
