Leveling jack failure before driving is one of the most dangerous situations in RVing - a jack deployed while driving causes severe undercarriage damage and can cause loss of control. We treat jack-won't-retract calls as true emergencies and provide same-day service throughout the Apopka area.
Before assuming the leveling system has a major failure, check the obvious first: auto-leveling systems require the ignition to be in a specific position (usually 'accessory' or 'on'), the slide button to be inactive, and in some coaches the parking brake to be set. A controller that won't respond is often a simple operational issue rather than a system failure.
Why Leveling Jacks Stop Working
- Control panel failure - display dead, buttons unresponsive
- Individual jack motor failure - one jack doesn't move
- Power supply issue - blown fuse or loose battery connection
- Position sensor failure - jack won't retract because sensor thinks it's up when it isn't
- Controller board failure - intermittent or complete system failure
Emergency Jack Retraction
If jacks won't retract by any normal means, every leveling system has a manual override. Lippert LCI systems have a manual retract function in the controller menu. HWH hydraulic systems have a manual pump control. As a last resort, most electric jacks can be manually retracted by connecting 12V directly to the motor with reversed polarity. We carry the tools to perform emergency retraction at your location.
