I first thought it might be low fluid level. I drove 30 mi (toad) to get some...no joy.

LCI led me through checkout which showed no power to pump. It was up to me to find breaker. I did and it was tripped. Reset and on our way.

Mine is in the battery/hydraulic compartment behind the pump. It doesn’t look like normal circuit breaker. A red tab pops out when thrown.

I’ve since had it trip several times. Had it checked out and they found nothing. It happens on auto level when front jacks go full travel. I try not to do that any more.

The LCI info on fluid level is a mess. They show different indicators in different manuals. Some have a dipstick. Not mine.

Just a warning: the breaker is tripping because of the motor pulling too much current. It only takes a few of those excess current cycles to burn up the brushes and commutator on that motor, which is not a cheap repair or replacement. I stopped using auto level after fixing my motor, manual every time for me - a much smoother experience.
