1999 Bounder motor home, after the jacks are raised ( I look and verify---they are UP !) the light --jacks down still stays on. I pull the parking brake an audible comes on ------I can not find the reason for this or a way to disconnect the audible beep in order to drive this unit to a service facility or RV dealership. What can cause the light and audible to stay on How do I disconnect for the short term? Pete

Possibly the ( hydraulic fluid ) is just a little low--- mine does that every once in a while--- Mine is full when the jacks are up---be sure your's is--completely. i just drive away---and the light goes off in a few feet. rich

If you just want to tenminate alarm you cane go to the power gear controller and unplug it. It should bee located on the bulkhead between the parking brake mwchanism and the steering column.Just unplug the module and you are ready to go. Make shure your jacks are up !!!

Have you checked the warning switches on the jacks. If the switches go bad or get out of adjustment the warning light may not go out.
Re: Jacks	Bill Neeland	2-4-09
I have found on my 1998 MH that one or more of my jacks will not always go up all the way. The warning lite stays on until I use my fiberglass long handled shovel to lift the jack(s) up to make the warning switch. The jack cylinders don't always go up because the return spring become weak and require replacing. Another issue is that since the leveling system is a cold hydraulic system, the moisture (water) has no way to be removed. It collects in the jack cylinders and corrodes the pistons and cylinder walls requiring replacement of jack cylinders. This is all from my experience at HWH and Winnebage GNR.

Low fluid or defective float switch MOST PROBABLE CAUSE. Top left on the pump resivoir is the fill port. fill while jacks are up to the fluid just seeps out. If that does not cure it the float switch is on the other side check it's timing. You should have a decal on the resivoir showing timing. Look where th two wires come out of the res. that is the switch. Look carefully at the stem where the wires come out. The point should go down if it does not it won't work rite. If it is test swith with multi meter.When full you will NOT have continuity. To remove float drain fluid at bottom of res. 2 qts. is good. Dont Unplug wire harness to switch yet back off 3/4 nylon nut. push stem into res.while holding wire harness. Carefully pull o-ring out. Now you can remove switch and bench test or replace as needed.
