Rail liftgate emergency

Hi,

We have a 2006 Jayco Seneca Zx that has a Thieman TVL-16 Railgate.
Unfortunately we were unloading it when we lost power, we can't seem to find any reference to stowing it manually. There must be a way to bypass the switch or just being able to stow it,because as it sits right now, our taillights and license plate are covered.
  • Hi ,

    Just read your post and wondered if you found a solution? I have the same exact motorhome and my tailgate quit working. Haven't been able to figure it out yet.

    Thanks!
  • Sometimes the top of the pomp will have a silver sticker over the top at a location that you can insert a socket or Allen wrench assembly attached to a drill battery operated and cause it to operate the pump if you've lost power to manually get it back up-and-down this is also the case on some of the 5th wheel jacks that we found
  • Does it raise and then not tip up to store? Does the pump run when trying to store or does circuit breaker trip out?
  • Have you worked thru the Troubleshooting section of the manual. It seems to be unusually comprehensive: Manual
