Sorry I got involved in something else, couldn't get back to form. Glad Frances helped him out.

I have to say watching this thread today is WOW. Everyone on this forum jumping in to help is great. I hope someday I will have the knowledge on my new coach to help out as well. Really nice job guys.

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.

jumping from 12 volts to the gray wires and that did the trick. I am now at quartzsite foretravel site

I knew at some point my leveling system was going to go out. It's been kind of funky for the last couple years

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.

You know how it is if things don't break you don't learn how to fix them...

We are over a month out and it is crowed now?

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."

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!

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.

More than likely you will need to send the control box in for a rebuild. Might as well send the touch pad as well. Try calling HWH and ask for Ashley in service she gave me the return authorization. It took about a month or so.

No, I didn't call them back, I replaced a broken spring on one of my levelers back in August and was able to get the part number from Foretravel. I just thought it was strange that HWH was that far behind.

It'd be pretty easy to just build your own control box that allows you to manually level and go in and out of travel mode. That'd hold you over until yours is rebuilt. I'm thinking about doing it so I (and the forum) have a backup after seeing enough of these control box issues.

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

The next question is though if I apply power to the raise solenoids can I get the stands in place so I don't get squashed when I rebuild the front six pack?

And I would imagine that applying power to the lower ones will then release air? And lower it back down?

I have a back up system for travel height. And I have a back up system for a raise. I never built on the lower it. Takes me a few seconds to hook up the connections and it's good to go. It's tied into all the travel height solenoids and raise solenoids. Also have a manual setup to raise or lower as needed using the manual settings for over the road
