Imoski Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 The story so far... Landing gear came worked fine this morning (extended to hitch to truck; retracted for storage) At new campsite tonight they won't extend but will retract. I got them down manually with the handle to stabilize the 5th wheel for tonight. Any ideas why they go up but not down? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imoski Posted October 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 That's what I'm hoping. Didn't get chance to check last night it was getting dark as we arrived! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely you have a switch that is open in the center position and closed either of the other two positions(raise & lower). It may have one bad set of contacts. You can easily check it with an ohm meter, or as a quick test just use a jumper wire to connect between the lower contacts and the center. It will be very helpful if you have a multi-meter and are familiar with it's use. Quote Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......
