chuckbear Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Did a search but couldn't find anything. The PowerGear jacks are down warning light and buzzer stays on even though all four jacks are fully in the up positions. The light stays on and the warning buzzer starts when the emergency brake is released. I have tried extending them and retracting several times, retracting them, turning the engine and ignition off and then restarting then engine. It still stays on. Anyone else had this problem, what did you do to correct it? Thanks.

Biker56 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Check the fluid in the tank. It may be low and that will cause buzzer to go off. Add fluid with jacks up only.

chuckbear Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Thanks. The cap to check the fluid seems to be frozen, so I need to work on getting it off without damage.

Jimalberta Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Chuck I have the power gear jacks on my coach and I agree with Biker as it happened to me. The jacks were up but the alarm was still going. The fluid in the reservoir which is automatic transmission fluid by the way, returns to the reservoir as the jacks retract....there is a float in there to turn off the switch for the lights and alarm. I had to add about a quart to mine when this happened. On mine the instructions say to add tranny fluid till it wont take any more and flows out the add port. <p>....JIM and LINDA......2001 American Eagle 40 '.towing a GMC Sierra 1500 4X4 with RZR in the rear. 1999 JEEP Cherokee that we tow as well.

chuckbear Posted August 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I checked the fluid today and it is at the bottom of what appears to be an insert at the fill cap. It looks like it won't take much, but I don't have the right transmission fluid. I will get some tomorrow and give it a try. Thanks.

LFDR3116 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Ours did this too and it didn't take much to make a difference and make the light and alarm go off. We've even been a little low and going around a corner made it happen - then after turn completed, it shut off again. We didn't know what it was at the time. We do now and find that we have to add some after we have been parked for a long period of time ( a few months). Pat DeJong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
