Re: Leveling system display failure
Ken,
My sister has that happen on her 5th wheel. We tried to unplug it...plug back in, but that did not work. End the end, she had to get a replacement controller.
I did a YouTube video for the replacement process, if you'd like to watch it

Here is a link to get the controller on Amazon.

Thanks Jim...we’ll give it a shot. We are in Albuquerque overnight on our way to our grandsons graduations. We pulled in to a park and couldn’t even coax the system to deploy.

Re: Leveling system display failure
Thanks for all the suggestions.
Jim...I called Lippert and was walked through checking on the electric module connections, both on the ceiling of the front compartment and on the back of the control box. Jim (at Lippert) was very helpful and said that 60% of the time, it is a loose connection on one of these two modules. Ken found the loose wiring module on the control box and voila! We have liftoff!
Thanks so much....we are again on our way!

Deidra,
I am troubleshooting the same display issue for one of my club members who has a 2017/18 Big Horn, can you tell me where the module was located in the front compartment?

I had good luck when I called Lippert with my “Rear Sensor” error that prevented me from retracting legs.
My location of the main controller unit required me to open the front storage door by the pin box, crawl into area where my oil reservoir is & located it in the center of roof, which is the bottom of my bedroom closet.
It takes some effort but with the Lippert tech rep on the phone with you, you will find it & trouble shoot it easily.
My problem required me to find the rear sensor. After cutting 2 holes in the belly, I found it located on cross member behind my spare tire carrier which is just to rear of my fresh water tank. I unplugged the connection (easy) & put dielectric grease on pins & plugged in. Solved problem!
To repair the bottom I found Jim Belleti’s posts when he opened & repaired the underbelly a few years back. It is worthy of creating a document to be available in the HUG user guide section. Still it was a lot of work laying on my back on crushed limestone rocks at my campground!
Thank’s Jim & Lippert!

Orion 7144 here are photos of the main control unit with sensor located in the front cabinet behind the pin box. It has a single wire that supplies power & the other wires go to pump & rear sensor. (Photo 4)
photo 5 is of the rear sensor located in the center of the cross member located just behind my fresh water tank.
The connector plug is shown in these photos 1-3. When I unplugged it & put dielectric grease on the pins & reconnected it, all was fine.
the hardest part is having the courage to open the underbelly, locating the sensor & then repair the underbelly. Oh yes, then digging the gravel out of my elbows & knees!

When my rear sensor fell off the frame (was laying on top of the chloroplast) due to the screws backing out, I found it by first finding the cross members (look for screws in the middle of the belly) then removing 3-4 screws on the side and peeking into the center. Found mine on second try. This beats cutting multiple random holes.
Lou, great “ Purple Monkey” sleuthing skills. Makes one wonder how it came loose or was it poorly attached at the factory.
However in my case the rear sensor was & is firmly attached to the cross member. This required me to do “ Exploratory Surgery” on the underbelly to find it. Found it on the second try & after the unplugging & plugging it worked!
I found Jim Beletti’s post to add more rock wool insulation plus sealing up incisions by adding 1x6 inch treated boards & screws plus the “super tape” from Amazon. 5,000 mile trip in May through a couple major thunder storms while towing - it’s working fine!

Purple Monkey! Someone has attended Terry Cooper's electrical seminar
Yes! Best time & $ well spent at Goshen Rally last year!!!
