A quick "search" recommends ensuring your slides are in.

Just tossing a dart here, I have no personal knowledge about slides.

Thank you, that is what we thought too. Put slides out and in again with no results :(

There is a switch that will override that I believe on the side of one of your hwh boxes as long as you are certain the slides are secure and the coach goes to ride height.  It looks like something you would stick a flat blade screwdriver in to change position of it.  I will look for a post on that.

Put your coach type and year (and build # if you have it) down on the 'sig' section, it'll make troubleshooting easier!  ^.^d

Whew! BP lowering, might make for easier morning bathroom.  The oh S repairs sure can be no fun.

04 should have an HWH reset switch by the driver.  That has saved us a few times.  I believe it kills power to that whole system and lets it reset.

I had the same problem, I found I have to hold the close button for the slide a bit longer..that solved my issue...

Feel better now? Didn't cost you anything and you learned something new.
