I tried to raise my leveling jacks after they were down for about three weeks. I have videoed what is happening but here's a little backstory. I initially had a problem with the battery/inverter on the RV. The RV started having issues with the inverter control panel beeping with an E01 error prior to my last camping trip. This went away once I drove the RV to the campsite. There was no beeping when I got to the site prior to hooking up shore power. So I thought the batteries just needed charging from the drive over and all was well.
Fast forward to last Monday evening. I got in the RV and tried to get the jacks to raise (I had company during the holidays and never put the jacks up). I got nothing but a solenoid clicking noise from the leveling jacks hydraulic unit in the battery compartment and the inverter had started beeping again. This bothered me because the RV had been hooked up to shore power for three weeks. The batteries should have been fine. After researching/troubleshooting the batteries, I eventually ran across a post here that said to check the 100A Buss fuses on the sidewall near the batteries. Sure enough, both of them had the reset button popped out. I reset them and thought that the batteries would now charge via shore power and then I'd have enough power to retract the jacks.
Fast forward to tonight. I started the RV, turned on the LCI control panel (while still connected to shore power), and pressed ''Retract All Jacks". Again the interior lights started flickering at the same rate as the solenoid clicking noise. The jacks have yet to retract.
When you watch the video, the engine is running, shore power is not connected, the inverter does not error/beep until I turn on the interior lights (but they still come on full bright), the lights do not flicker until I press 'Retract All Jacks' or 'Man' and 'Rear'. The lights look dim in the video but they are really flickering with that solenoid in the hydraulic unit. The camera frame rate had a hard time keeping up with the frequency that the lights were flickering.
Is it insufficient charge on the batteries? Faulty solenoid? Faulty inverter? Wrong sequence powering up and activating the leveling system? Here's the link to the video. Please help.
