.. May see one last level move on front to back followed by success message on Lippert control panel

Simply manually “level” your fifth wheel using a level or level app with your smart phone

Then store the new “level” position in the controller

We had a similar issue, auto leveling was working fine for a while then went wacky and wouldn't level, but worked fine if manually leveling. Had Lippert Guys look at it while at a Rally and the ended up replacing the rear most sensor, but fine ever since.
So yes those sensors can go bad.......

I learned the very hard way about the Auto Leveling system. We had continual problems with my 2015 3725RL for 18 months after purchasing. Hit and miss. Worked and then didn't work. No reason. Visited an RV dealer in Colorado Springs. He checked the batteries. They were underpowered!! Came with the 5th wheel. Purchased two new batteries with much higher AMP rating. And guess, since then, May 2016, we have not one single problem anywhere. Circled the country, went up into Canada and back to Oregon. Not a single problem! So, make sure you have sufficient amps to run the auto leveling system.

I have 2- 6 volt and 2- 12 volt batteries wired together so that's not the issue for shur.

We had a similar problem and it was low on oil, to check the oil level all cylinders must be fully retracted. I had to add about 2 quarts, now it works great.

Mine was low on oil straight from the factory. Topped it off and
no problems.
