Good luck, Red. Glad this one is yours and not mine, this time.

Happy wiring,

Carter-
Ya.... Just have fingers crossed that I blew a fuse not pulled the wires apart, followed them and is a can of worms going thru the floorboards....

Today I opened up the HWH control box, got to the 3rd "ring" and found a fuse blown..other 4 fuses good..... now have travel light back on the touch pad... but no other lights... looking further.

If the weather eases up a bit will check the fuse on the 12 air compressor, then back into the 3 ringed circus (control box) for the battery fuses....
short update, changed out the 5amp fuse @ the 12v compressor, old one looked good but while I 'm there .. replaced it.

no joy

Well what an ordeal... checked the rest of the fuses I could find in that 3 ring circus called a control box,,,, nuttin amiss... then the "fun"(?) started..... 6 hours later got those !@#$%^&*()_ rubber bands back in place.....
So now will try to figure out which one of the power wires (think it is the one that is keyed) may be pulled apart......

Saddlesore--do what my DW kept telling me when I was so frustrated trying to find why my passenger turn to the toad wouldn't work:
Do ONE (1) wire at a time!! ONE wire at a time!!! ONE wire at a time!
Turned out she was right and, as usual, I was wrong.
Try to stay calm (I didn't until she made me cool down) and then go back in and check continuity of ONE wire at a time as far back as feasible. I found that a butt splice wasn't doing its' job and I wasn't getting current through. My mistake. I  ASS--UMED something that I shouldn't have.
If not sure--replace the *#@*% wire or connector.
(See, now I am getting riled up!) Absolutely hate things that function and then don't function. Very hard to find why. :))

Yup, have taken more than a few coffee breaks, at the point now trying to find what each of the wires @ the touch pad goes to,
As a last resort will just have to wait until I get to MOT & let them sort it out now that I have the travel mode working.

Hmmmm... Travel mode is key'd by ignition switch, soooo the level system must be always on... read somewhere about a battery fuse for  HWH....  checked all the fuses I could find in the control boxes I think.  Any ideas where it would be?

You should have 2 self resetting breakers hid in in the breaker panel that is behind the kick panel.  (the removable panel in front of the passengers seat)  Seems like the HWH is powered off # 11 and # 49.  One of the breakers is on the buss that has power all the time and the other is on the switched side.  No I don't remember which is which right off the top of my head.  Even though these are made to be self reseating they do fail.  Seems like they are both 10 amp.

THANKYOU!!!
Yup found them,both have power so tomorrow will see if I can find out which pin on the HWH touch pad powers the leveling system.
I know that the "key'd one should be the yellow wire at one end of the 5 pins, have a red and a drk green wires that are 16 ga. at the other end, and the rest are 18ga .

update
found them and now trying to figure out how to remove the left console to get to the terminal junction for wire # 7699 to 7699-A and wire 6121

Note to self..... just because you used to be skinny and could worm your way into tight areas does not mean that when you get older and somewhat rotund you will be able to back yourself out of where you put your head & shoulders...

When it gets too crazy it is worth it to pay someone who knows what they are doing to fix it.  Hope they get you fixed up well and back on the road happy.        ^.^d
