Coach now home--HWH malfunctioning

Well, we went and brought the coach home out of storage. We have been waiting to get the driveway sealed, but it wouldn't be done until nighttime temps above 50 and no rain. The weather won't cooperate so brought the coach home.
Tried to level--no luck. The levers all light up but the main pump motor will NOT kick in when I toggle AUTO LEVEL. I can jiggle the individual levers and sometime get a reaction, but not consistent.
I think my problem is either loose connectors, corrosion, or critter damage.
Any suggestions?

Look around and see if you can discover any loose connections, corrosion, or critter damage..................... :dance:

As always check for a good ground first, especially if your getting some or limited function. Add a new ground if necessary because you can't have too many. Grounds to a steel frame are always ripe for corrosion due to dissimilar metals. Add a little moisture and wah law.

Also check the output on the main HWH relay. I have recently spent some time with the HWH technical service team working through my own issues. The master relay is the most common culprit. The panel will still light up if the relay does not work.
