2013 Cyclone Hydraulics completely dead

[Txdiesel1990]

Hello everyone,

New to the group but not new to the wonderful world of campers and the quagmires of their constantly degrading materials!!

I have a 2013 cyclone 3110 TH. The hydraulics have stopped functioning even stopped making a sound whatsoever. No clicking no nothing. Back story is we knew we had failed batteries. Replaced them about a month ago and hd left it at a friend’s hooked up to shore power AFTER replacing them. I came to hook camper up and i was getting sketchy on and off contact from both our hydraulic jacks and our hydraulic slides…but got it home. I always run generator while towing to charge batteries etc in case I need power when I arrive. Got it home. Same thing…power cutting in and out. Managed to get off truck. When to level camper after hooking up to shore power. Dead.

Started diagnosing and found 1 breaker with no in and out power. 13+-V one side…0.00v other side. That hot line is what runs to the dual polarity solenoid for the Hydraulic pump. I believe this to be my dilemma…BUT would appreciate any diagnostic help!!

Yep. Likely failed like ours did a few years back
You can replace it with the same thing or as some have with a larger one

I actually changed ours out to an 80A marine style breaker/switch and upsized the cables directly from battery to pump motor

Do you have power in and out of the other breakers? There should be one breaker that has a tiny reset button on the side. Look for that and press to reset.
Or like Lyle said your breaker for the hydraulics may have failed. They are around $10 and easy to swap out.

Peace

TxDiesel1990, these breakers are available at auto stores like, NAPA, etc.... Generally, they are under $10.
Some of these breakers are auto reset and others are manual reset.

No resets on any of them. I have another 50 amp coming today. I will advise on my diagnostic “pRoWeSs” after !!!

I'd try a temporary wire from battery to dual polarity solenoid or just by pass the fuse to see what happens

So currently the little breaker was the problem. Seems resolved. Thanks guys I am sure I will be around!!!

You shouldn't have to run your generator while towing to keep your batteries charged up. They should be getting a charge from the truck through a dedicated charge line in the seven-line plug.
