Leveling Jack power

[Bjwinspect]

I just pulled in to park for the night.  My leveling jacks have no power.    I am going to lift the dash in a few minutes and check fuses... I could use some help to speed the process this evening...anyone know which fuse for the jacks?

Parking brake set? Engine running?

On our Sunstar, the jacks circuit breaker is on a panel outside, inside a door almost under the driver seat. YMMV. It's probably not a fuse.

Thanks... it?s not the brake... or ignition switch, it worked 350 miles ago..this morning ... this is our last night..home tomorrow... we are pretty level...it?s getting late.. will probably just wait and trouble shoot when we get home.

Thanks .. I will update when I figure it out

If it's HWH there are in-line fuses on the motor for the pump

How did you determine that?  Worked 350 miles ago is hardly definitive for a problem occurring now. 

One fairly common problem is that the jack controller loses contact with the brake or ignition interlock circuit, so it thinks the brake is not set or the ignition is on, even though it is not.
Do you have lights on the jack control panel or is it completely dead? If the control is live but the hydraulic pump doesn't work, you may need to be looking at the pump power and wiring vs the controller power & wiring.

On our Power Gear hydraulic jacks, there is a in-line fuse near  the motor for the pump.

What year Adventurer?
Do you have slides? Do they move? Same pump and motor control relays.

Problem resolved ...  a wire at a solenoid next to the pump had a poor connection.    For the past several years all was fine, but I had been parked water front for the past week with wind, salt water and sand.  This probably contributed to the poor connection.

Very good! Thanks for the update  )

The exact same thing happened on my 2017 Sunstar, except the power lead was left loose after CW replaced the two front jacks under warranty.  Lippert sent me a new controller thinking that was the problem.  Took it to Winnebago in Forest City, they quickly figured it out.
