According to the installation manual, the black/white wire is "solenoid extend/retract".
I found the manual here:

I tried this, and when I jumped the solenoid the motor didn't turn on. According to the customer support tech I spoke to, this indicates that the motor is bad. But then I applied a 12v source to the motor and it ran, so the motor is apparently okay.


I was also told to try pushing the forward diamond on the control panel 10 times, then the rear diamond 10 times, then Retract 3 times, but this did nothing.


I used the emergency procedure to retract the extended jack by spinning the pump motor with an electric drill, so now the RV is at least driveable, but the levelers are still not working. When I turn on the system, the control panel still indicates that jacks are down.
