hyd jacks

[lhabicht]

I have a 1995 Bounder motor home d/p

my alarm came on for my jacks when I was riding along. I stopped and checked they were up alright

however the alarm continued to sound. I disconnected the alarm.

and only connect it when I need to use the jacks.

please help

thank you len habicht

You could have had some fluid left in the lines which will allow the jacks to slip ever so slightly and sound the alarm.
If you have HWH, make sure when you are in the "store" mode that you allow the unit to turn itself off. Only then is it actually completely drained. If you interupt the "store" mode, say going from acc. to starting the engine hit the store button again and let it then turn itself off.

Only recently has HWH put those instructions with the jacks.

You could have a slow leak in a line as well, or just a short in the alarm. But I would try the "store" procedure first.

Good luck and let us know how things work out.

With the jacks retracted and any slideout in, be sure the hydraulic resevoir is filled to the proper level. This sensor in the tank is what tells the touch pad the jacks are down.

I had the same problem with the alarm and it was the hydraulic resevoir sensor. When I made a turn or dip in the road, then later it just continued to sound.I check the the tank and found it was almost a quart low.Did not find a leak anywhere.

I have the same issue....my sounds when it is low on fluid, or when I make a turn or hit a bump. I just checked it last week and I was low on fluid...so I am thinking there is a leak somewhere...but I went over some speed bumps very slowly yesterday, and it sounded when I did that.

I have a 97 and the same thing happened to me. It was the springs had lost the tension on two jacks and they would not pull the jack back up far enough to send a signal. The next year both springs broke when I tried to raise them.
