Re: 95 Chevy Pace Arrow - Auto Break Coming on in Reverse
There is an adjustable switch under the floor, under the steering column. You have to remove a sheet metal panel in the drivers front wheel well to access it. Its like a mini tie rod. It will be intuitive how to adjust it once you see it. It comes loose and looses its adjustment. I think the oldusedbear may have a photo of it. In the mean time, put pressure on the column shifter toward neutral, with out going into neutral, when backing up. That usually will disengage the AP.516Views0likes0CommentsRe: Power Gear Manual Controller Problem
So, put all new batteries in. The voltage is a little lower behind the dash, than at the battery, but only by .2 -.3 V. So this wasn't my root cause. Oh, well, still needed new batteries anyway. I guess I have to replace the jack controller. They run $350. Not a happy camper. You'd think that it would last the life of the RV. Oh well.401Views0likes0CommentsRe: Power Gear Manual Controller Problem
Ok, my main chassis battery is getting old, and voltage is typically lower behind the dash especially if you are running the dash AC, or have the lights on. So, the fix was to turn off everything. Start the motor, let the voltage come up. Hit any button and the unit shuts off. Then hit front and rear jacks at the same time. It goes into config mode. Hit the right jack button 3 times quickly. The "wait" light comes on. When that tuns off, everything works. Of course, time for a new set of batteries. Rather spend money on that, than a controller. So, another fix for the RVnet archives.401Views0likes0CommentsRe: Power Gear Manual Controller Problem
Ok. Was really just wondering if other people have had problems with this controller. Because, if the Power Gear 500731 controller is just a $350 piece of junk, I could probably just mount 4 momentary switches on the dash that will do the same thing for like $20. You know, so I'm not falling for the planned obsolescence deal.400Views0likes0CommentsPower Gear Manual Controller Problem
I bought this controller new in 2008. PN 500731. So, you start the motor, and the LEDs start flashing. Press any button and all the LEDs turn off. The unit will not power up using the power button. Get this, i push the retract all button, and the front jack came on. Went to full extent, hard against the stop with the pump still running. Turned off ignition and it stopped. Turned it back on, blinking lights again. I hit the retract button, even though it appeared to be powered down. The jack did retract. Thankfully. Its for sure not in config mode....per the manual. So, im thinking the controller is toast. Could it be anything else? These things only last 9 years? Sheeesh.2.3KViews0likes9Comments
