Auto Leveling System Doesn't Work With Landing Gear Motor

Updated 08/13/2024 | Published 08/07/2024

Question:

I purchased this to replace the rear leveling jack for the Lippert auto leveling system on my Jayco 5th wheel part 1a065012-02-03. When I press auto level the system will display “grounding rear jacks”. However the rear jacks never lower enough to contact the ground. I don’t get any error codes and the display reads level successful. I can move the rear jacks fully in and out in manual mode but no luck in auto.

Hi Scott; apologies but I'm not 100% certain what you're asking as the part number you mentioned is a motor, and motor you referenced is for landing gear. What auto leveling system are you referring to?

I’m sorry for the confusion. I purchased the motor to replace the rear motor of my Lippert 2.0 leveling system.

@Donovan Gotcha, thanks for the clarification. The # LG-142178 should still work with the 2.0, You'll likely have to reset the Zero Point, and I've added a link below to the instructions which show how to do that (it'll be on page 5). https://lci-support-doc.s3.amazonaws.com/manuals/leveling-and-stabilization/ccd_0001517.pdf

@KyleS Thank you for that. That link isn’t working but I did reset the zero by pressing “up” then “down” 10 times each and that didn’t resolve the issue. I also fully extended the rear jacks and auto retracted them in attempt to set the stroke. That didn’t work either.

@Donovan Shoot. I'm honestly stumped, as it shouldn't be the motor if the legs are still lowering, just not all the way. At this point I'll have to refer you to Lippert's technical service as it sounds like there's something going on with the Ground Control, but I couldn't tell you what.
