Level -up question

Hello All, Have level-up. All functions work as they should except one.

When in the "manual" mode, when you extend the right side jacks, both the front and right extend. It used to be when you pushed "right" in the "manual" mode only the right jacks would go down. The left side works properly in "manual". The front jacks work properly in "manual"

Auto level, auto retract all work properly. When in auto level and the right side needs to extend, works properly.

Thoughts? or maybe just need to reset the key pad? A year or so ago I did have to do a reset on the level sensor but that was a problem using auto level.

My first guess is that something on the right side is already extended too much. Following up with this line of thought...in manual, what happens when left and right sides are retracted some...then right extended again. Just a thought. John

Just curious.....If the auto level is functioning as it should what are you trying to accomplish by using the manual mode? I'm not trying to be a wise guy just wondering if I'm missing out on an undocumented feature of the Level Up.

Auto level does not always work based on terrains. Just this afternoon, had to manual. Otherwise would have had to board one side and then try auto. Level

I am in a site, parking lot, hooked up to the truck, right side down a bit, just want to lift the right side to be level. Only staying overnite. No need to unhook. I have done the left or right side only several times. Trailer level front to back, just off side to side,

Now, when the right side needs to come up I have to use my old fashioned wood blocks under the wheels, if not using auto level and unhooking from the truck.

BTY, when you push the right button in manual only the right orange lite comes on, but both the front and right jacks extend. This is starting with all jacks retracted. If you continue to try and lower the right jacks the fronts will try and pick the trailer up off the back of the truck.

Thanks, Jim

Jim-- Give Lippert/LCI a call and see what they have to say. I've found them really helpful when I had problems with my level-up system. By the way, are you guys interested in coming to the MOC Central Plains Regional Rally to be held in Nebraska City, NE in July? We'd like you to join us if you can!
Just a sneaky way to promote the CPRR! LOL

Maybe,??? got the house for sale and planning on going to Colorado for summer. Would be a nice side trip.
