Is there a separate plug back at the box for each six pack?
I have a different series HWH system than Bob but yes, in my case it's one plug for the rear six pack and one plug for the front six pack I believe.

Yes all the grounds return back to box with ground lug externally. Easy to separate front from rear. I texted Bob and he said he was underway on i10

Pulled out of the RV Park and noticed that as I was leaving the coach was not level and the travel light was not on. Made it to the Walmart a mile away and I'm trying to get the system to work but will not. Yes I've tried everything that I can think of. The HWH panel is working as far as the lights so that's not it. I checked the fuses in the HWH computer and they all seem to be okay although it's a little hard to tell laying on my back with blurry eyes cuz I can't see that close lol. Even with my glasses on the left driver side airbags are fully deflated and the right are inflated and will not deflate when I hit the dump switch.

Can you safely check the dump ports on the front 6-pack?

If it won't dump/lower on one side, it's possible the exhaust/dump port is blocked with a mud dauber nest.  Over-inflation on one side might make the other side appear underinflated.

Appreciate all the help. As you all know when you're on the road and things break is very frustrating. With you guys help as well as twig via phone and his friend Scott I think his name was who basically reinforced earlier suggestions about jumping from 12 volts to the gray wires and that did the trick. I am now at quartzsite foretravel site. A little shooken up from the day but I knew at some point my leveling system was going to go out. It's been kind of funky for the last couple years but it's always done what it needed to do until today. So the next thing to do would be to rebuild a six packs which I have the kits for and see if that fixes it or if not I'll have to send my board to HWH.
Again I appreciate all the help. Below is a picture of what my bypass/jumper looks like.
You know how it is if things don't break you don't learn how to fix them...

Bruce Beane hit it. Here at Quartzsite it was Francis Fritch that told Bob over the phone to get 12Vs to the grey wires. If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times.......FRANCIS CAN FIX ANYTHING!. 5 coaches here now. Get your reservations in quick. It's getting crowded.

Thank's Elliott for the help, but so much for the Socratic method.

Power to the gray wires shoots down my supposition that the grounds are faulty.

Power to the solenoid shows that the coil and solenoid are fine.

And then logic sees a squirrel:  So while you're at Quartzsite have a technician conform that your HWH board is toast and not just some bad plug in connections.

But overall, Nice Work Bob!

I'm glad you were able to get back on the road in relatively short order.
Regarding HWH, I got this voicemail this morning...

"Hi Chris, this is Caitlin with HWH. I'm returning your parts call from back in the end of August. If you are still needing help, please feel free to reach out at 800-321-3494. Thank you."

Sounds like there's going to be a "Christmas in Quartzsite"  gathering.  Has that happened before ?

Have you called back?  I missed a call and I was told they would take a message and call me back.  Don't remember how long but it was a while.

Thanks Art! I was just going to send it in but you know HWH may have a tent here but that won't be for a little while. It's a good idea though

Just called HWH was on hold for 10 minutes and then I got a live person to talk to they already knew who I was and a service technician is expected to call me back within about a week which is fine with me cuz I'm not going anywhere right now anyway.
The lady I spoke to did tell me that if I was stuck at Walmart still they would have got somebody on the phone quicker although she didn't really specify how quick. I told her I had something better. The fore forums...
Maybe I just called at the right time....  Somebody will call me back next week and I'm pretty sure that if they're going to have a technician at quartzite he'll know hopefully. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to send the board in for repair though.
Francis Fritch was a big help though and talked me through the jumper process for the travel solenoids.
I think I may make a permanent jumper for it and store it on the computer so it's right there.
