Tom, unfortunately the controller 2020003067 is not going to work in place of the 289252, so It would need to be replaced with the 289252. I have also confirmed this with Lippert to make sure.

I bought controller PN 2020003067 for a replacement for PN 289252. The difference in the two controllers is the connectors for the external sensor. My controller (289252) is a single 3 pin connector (black, yellow, red wires). The new controller has 2 two pin connectors and the suggested additional wiring harness (178278) will not work. All other connectors look correct. What is the fix?

@Steve They probably just left off that wire from the connector if it's not being used, which is why there's only two pins instead of three. Let me reach out to Lippert though and see if they have any insight on this as well.

@BryceD Did you ever get a good answer for this? We have the same situation. The OE Winnebago board (PN: 289252E) has a 3 pin connector for the "remote sensor connector" and this replacement you suggest has (2) 2 pin connectors for the "remote sensor connector". I don't see how the 4 pin connector harness you are recommending would solve this issue as the harness you are recommending appears to plug into the "touch pad harness connector". All of the connections on the replacement board appear to be the same as the OE Winnebago "289252E" board, except for the remote sensor connector connections..... (our board is the same as the board in the original post above, you can see the 3 pin connection in the middle bottom of the board) Thank You Casey Whealy Awesome RV

@CaseyW Casey, I did get a message back from Lippert and they said that the Control 2020003067 is actually not going to work in place of the 289252 so It would need to be replaced with the 289252.

Hi, I ordered the recommended replacement ‘brain’ but there are two additional harnesses needed. The old part had a single connector for the ‘Remote Sensor Connector’ and the new brain has 2 plugs in this same location. Do you have a the part numbers for those harness replacements?

@AndrewD Andrew, if you are using the Replacement Lippert Leveling Control Brain for 4-Point Leveling System # LC53ED then you should just need the Replacement Lippert 4-Point Leveling System Control Brain Wiring Harness # LC178278.

My factory touch pad connector will fit the new brain (although I bought the recommended adapter harness) but the wire colors do not match. With the tab down the factory is yellow, red, black, green. The adapter is green, yellow, black red. Does this matter???

@AndrewD Not likely, Andrew. Most of these companies use whatever wire they have laying around so the color isn't always going to match. What matters is if it works or not, have you tested it and see if it works?

Yes this is a direct replacement for the 289252 I spoke with an electrical engineer who has tested this item so I just installed on on our 2014 itasca suncruiser 38q. This is a Plug and play installation. The only difference is you don’t use the rear sensor any longer as it’s built into this unit. Leave the 3 wire plug off as there’s no where to plug it in. When installed and power up controller to level it’s automatically in Zero Calibration mode” you must find a level pad to level it first. The customer needs a long 4’ level and use the manual jack controls to get the level you need and are happy with. Adjust front jacks then back jacks then side to side if needed. When you are finished hit enter and it will calibrate to that level you created. The system shuts off and your good to go.
