As far as the zeroing process, I have tried several times following the manuals instructions, will not reset, all I get is a flashing red light that translates to "lost communication with leveling sensor" . I have also called LCI several times and they have no further ideas as to how to trouble shoot the issue. Other than buy a new Panel !! The motorhome is in storage right now so I have not tried the purging and replacing the fluid. Will be the first thing I try when we get warmer weather or, I get to warmer weather! Dean

Thanks Wayne, that's the same unit I have. Glad I'm looking for ideas, the repair shop wanted to replace the jacks at a cost of $1,400 plus labor each and my response was NO they can't just go bad sitting there, bad seal maybe but not the point of needing replacement. Did you ever have any problems with the Auto Leveling position? There are telling my the panel is bad and needs to be replaced, any comment?

Thanks Jim, I am thinking the fluid change might be a good idea, I'm thinking I just have a sticking valve or dried out seal either in the pump (ie solenoid) or in the jack itself and the change of fluid may help flush the system, along with using the system more often may help, this last year the unit was stored more than it was used! Still have to figure out the auto mode problem.

They do not have external springs and was wondering if that might be the simplest solution. It won't solve the " auto mode not functioning" but will keep me mobile for now. The unit is in winter storage (MN) for the next month or so and want to be able to travel to warmer weather before I trouble shoot !! I should be able to purchase some external springs I can attach to keep them in the full up position.

Thanks for the reply, I have checked out the site and not getting much help. A new system approaches $6-7,000 just for parts and am hoping to find a way to repair!

I have a 2008 Winnebago Destination with the kwikee leveling system. One rear and one front jack will creep down 1/2 inch during storage, enough to set off the alarm. Hitting the all up button will retract the jacks and good to go, however the jacks will creep down when I am driving and set off the alarm. It takes about 3-4 hours for the jacks to creep far enough to set off the alarm. I am wondering if this could be the jacks that are allowing the bypass or the pump? How do I trouble shoot to determine? A second problem is the Auto Level button will not activate the system, I have to use the manual level buttons. Could this be a problem with control panel or could this all be related?
