Just for giggles try running the engine and see if that helps. Shore power doesn't necessarily mean your engine battery is at full strength. We were told when we bought our Winnie to always run the engine when extending slides/jacks.
OK, Boss, we dis-connected shore power and started the Cummins. Nice to see that volts are the same whether SP or engine (13.7V)
Nothing from any switches...so let's backtrack to what began this problem. Maybe looking at bad pump motor is missing the WHY of the original (and second) motors going bad.
The Keypad for the jacks. On starting the unit, the pad began beeping, and all four lights (for the four jacks) lit up. The Jacks UP light was blinking red, even with the Power button Off. So I gave Power to the keypad and hit Down and then UP. Nothing but the "jacks are still down" beeping. The Jacks Down pad then blinked both Red and Green continuously.
The motor died as I either tried to raise the jacks, or Extend a slide.
So....what in that system is powerful enough to kill the motors? The pump operated with the new motor to the extent that it extended the small slide in the BR, and extended/retracted the main slide three times...so pump isn't...er, doesn't seem to be binding.
