Hello, I'm new to forum

[rhonime]

I have a 2012 Elkridge 295rls, after 2 trips the landing gear button doesn't raise or lower the legs, but the remote works to raise and lower them,what could it seem to be.I've removed the switch and ordered a new one. Does anyone have a hint or some experience with this?

The buttons can get water and dirt in them and lose connectivity. Try pulling the wire connectors on the back of the switch off one at a time at and cleaning them.

Our Grandaughter had a same problem with her Torque. I found a 30 amp in line fuse holder bad.

First try this on the switch........spray it in the toggle from the outside.
Since the landing gear works remotely it's probally NOT the fuse.

Raising or lowering the gear too far will blow the fuse. This is the most common cause of the gear not wanting to go up and down.

I did have this frustrating issue, my remote worked but the switch did not.

Went through 3 switch's, the original WAS bad.....the 2nd & 3rd are good, figured that our after the discovery of the IN LINE fuse. In the Big Country this was located on one of the "red" wires in the battery compartment....it IS independent of the Remote feed.

Good luck!!

Many thanks to all who replied. After some exploration I finally found the red wire from the battery with the in-line 30 amp fuse.As was suggested the fuse was blown, after replacing it the landing gear button works fine. I now carry a spare switch and several 30 amp fuses.
