Re: Level system light on dash, won’t go into gear Reply #4 – April 15, 2018, 04:10:05 pm There are sensors on all four locking pins. The control box should say upper or lower. These are probably not something you are going to fix while on the road. Diagnosis and R&R are a bit of work on all but one.There should be a box about the size of a big cake pan on the ceiling of the big bay on the driver's side. Inside there is a toggle switch that will override the lockout. Switch it the other way and that should let you get out of the lock out mode and on the road Quote Selected 5 Likes
Re: Level system light on dash, won’t go into gear Reply #5 – April 15, 2018, 04:53:50 pm It is your slide senor pins. Under the bay you will sa box with green light and one yellow. That will be your pin. Send the slide out and back in again you could rock it a bit too and see if it greens up n Quote Selected 2 Likes
Re: Level system light on dash, won’t go into gear Reply #6 – April 15, 2018, 05:50:54 pm Often times the sensor will fail and even though the pin is locked the system locks you out. With the slide in on a 2001 you can see the two top pins. Before you inflate the bladder get a flashlight out and you should be able to see the bottom pins from outside. The slide should be flush with the outside. Before the bladder is reinflated you may be able to wiggle it a bit from the inside along the top.If you can see that some or all of the pins are engaged and you are still locked out then try the override switch inside the cake pan. Be careful to not lose the screws that hold the cover on. Quote Selected 1 Likes
Re: Level system light on dash, won’t go into gear Reply #7 – April 15, 2018, 07:50:31 pm Your switch may be different than Roger's. On your year coach, the override switch may be one that you turn with a small screwdriver. It will say 120V/240V. Just the switch they used, not really the actual voltage. It will be on the aluminum side of one of the HWH boxes. I have to hold mine while I turn it as it is not really secured to the box.Rich Quote Selected

Re: Level system light on dash, won’t go into gear Reply #9 – April 15, 2018, 08:36:54 pm I had moved the slide, but I tried it again and it cleared and we were able to leave to go camping. Thanks everyone Quote Selected 1 Likes

HWH has yet to call us back (only been two weeks). Any ideas? Quote Selected
