Landing gear works with remote, not switch

The other day when we moved locations the landing gear would not operate with the switches. Hubby had to use the hand crank. When we got to location, he put new batteries in the remote and lowered the gears with no problem. Again we tried the switches with no success.

I would push the switches and he had a meter which indicated there was power but nothing would happen.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Bad switch. Easy enough to replace.

Mine was the circuit board. The switches on the coach are wired through the circuit board and will not work if the board is damaged. I was told to put a 30 amp in line fuse to the circuit board so that damage would not happen if excess strain was put on the landing gear motor and rear stabilizer jacks.

Installed new circuit board and in line fuse and we are good to go.
