Replacing a Power Gear Jack Warning Switch
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 окт 2019
- The owner of this 2009 Winnebago Journey stated the jack down warning light and alarm would go off when driving down the road. This Journey has a powergear leveling system but the tank is mounted horizontally. These powergear systems only have a float switch in the tank that closes when when the fluid gets low which assumes the jacks have been extended. If there is a leak or low oil level, the fluid cloud slosh back and forth while driving or turning causing the system to think the jacks are down. The fluid was not low on this so I replaced the float switch and explain it...a bit.
The lippert part number is 1510000070
I alread showed how to replace a vertical switch here : • Replacing a Powergear ...
Dropping RV knowledge like a silent soft whispering ninja. Leaving all RV problems dead in his wake. Doing more with one hand while holding a camera than I can do with both hands and not recording and teaching at the same time. Thank you sir!!! I have a vertical mounted system on a 1999 Fleetwood Bounder. But I'm sure the concepts are similar. By the way I almost had a heart attack when that grommet dropped inside the take. LOL
My wife thinks I'm an RV expert all I do is watch what you do one handed then use both of mine and take longer to do it and eventually make it work thanks for all your help...
I watch youtube videos for help all the time too. I'm glad you are enjoying them!
Thanks, you helped me out. That looks like my problem. I didn't even know where to look. I have a 08 winabago journey. Steps are coming up tomorrow morning.
I found this video very informative and I appreciate your videos and what you do!
Thank you very much!
Excellent AZ, it gave me a better idea of how it works. Thanks👍.......
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! You just saved me 300$
RV repairman told me to order a new control center. 😆
Excellent!
Used your video to repair mine. The wires going into the switch were bad. Thxs
I'm glad it was helpful! :)
Good to know, thank you. Happy trails!
Thanks Phil!
Excellent video. Having issues troubleshooting my 2006 Monaco Knight electrical to the pump. Indicator flashes "engage brakes" but the brakes are already engaged. Reservoir is full.
Glad it helped
I really appreciate your videos, thanks.
you're very welcome!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, it is much appreciated.
Questions,
1) what's your name?
2) How difficult would it be to upgrade my power gear (manual only) on my 1999 NRV Tradewinds to an automatic like this?
My Winnebago Elante 1994 just blew hydrolic fluid all over the ground on front driver side. Not happy but I will have to get my butt under there to hopefully fix what ever happened! I know now how you regret working on hydrolic! Well so do I. I swear all I have to do is walk by it and it jumps on me all over myself. Thanks for your input !
sounds like the manual manifold has a leak....likely a hose
With fluid expansion is this tank overfilled? Thumbs up 👍 thanks for the post. 😊
Do you have a video for HWH? My red light does not come on with the jack down.
Hello I just purchased a 2011 Monaco 30 ft. Jack's do not work. All lights on left are flashing and power button will not turn on the LCI. ??? Any suggestions please.
Hard to hold camera and work on issue huh
Do you know if you can lower jacks individually?
Another piece of information added to the old knowledge bank. I have a Winnebago pusher so I’ll remember this. Thanks so much.
Was wondering if the leveler fluid should be changed if it’s carrying metal filings?
No, the filings were small normal particles. The pump actually has a screen sump that picks up about 1/2" from the bottom of the tank. Jack fluid really should never have to be changed as normal servicing. Thanks!
AZ do you have a video for LCI jack? I have '14 Thor Hurricane on the touchpad when I turn it on it says, Jacks Down, even though the jacks are up. Then, it says Auto Retract all Jacks and Error Function Aborted. What seems to be the problem? Thanks.
Those Jack's look just like the Elante!
they are some common jacks
Test the old switch. Maybe? I was wondering if it just had a bad spot or if it was totally shot. Great video
Thank you. I did test it off camera but could not find a spot that failed everytime. It's just a reed switch so its possible that the failure required more movement to fail closed.
Very helpful! Do you have a part number for the switch? That warning has had me searching for a solution and thanks to you, I have probably found it!
Thanks again.
Rewatched and heard the number you read, thanks
thanks. I think it might be in the description too
Glad it helped
Why would you not clean the area around the sensor before removal? It only takes a second and would reduce the potential for contamination of the fluid.
that's a great point.
My Jack down light comes on when I hit a big bump
You need a camera mount so you can use both hands. hahah. Thanks for the info. I have a 2004 Newmar Mountain Aire that when driving the buzzer comes on for jacks down. I have to push the retract button and it stops. Could this just be low fluid?
newmar generally uses hwh. you need to let those go hrough a complete store cycle 6-9 minutes. it will turn itself off and that should stop your problem. I like the idea of a mount, but have found the setup akward and time consuming...but maybe. Thanks!
@@AZExpert It is HWH leveling. I do leave it on after I retract, but then the buzzer will come on randomly while driving.
@@kevinwilliamson7294 the Jack's are spring retracted and each jack has a sensor. If the alarm is still going off and retracting turns it off it sounds like the jack is extending and thermal expansion is the only other way beside the pump to extend. I would check and make sure the Jack's are completely retracted. The foot should be all the way to the cylinder
@@AZExpert Thanks for the insight. I did notice that the one jack on the rear has a small amount of chrome that shows on the cylinder when retracted. Maybe this one needs new springs. Thanks Again!
fun
Do you have a video on none hyd lci 12000 lbs
I don't, I'm sorry
Dang, coulda used some info on that basement ac blower...........
Sorry....I just didnt have the time.
@@AZExpert hey i fully understand, no worries!
Why in the world don't you clean the area around these switches before you remove them?? It can't be good at all for these hydraulic system for them to get dirt and dust in them.
I did clean the area off before installing the switch...but you do have a point. Thanks!
