After 4 years of flawless operation my auto level started failing during level and would get low voltage error and could hear solenoid mounted on hyd pump motor chatter...
Spoke with Tech at Lippert and he steered me right to the overall cause...
Intermittent signal from control module mounted inside front cargo bay to solenoid on pump motor
Tested green and yellow wires during auto level sequence monitoring DC voltage. Must stay at least 12 volts. Mine was dropping down to 10 intermittently.
House batteries at 13 plus volts and shore power plugged in
16335
16336
16337
Reseated control module red wire and verified over 13 volts on this wire... it provides DC power to module directly from battery
Reseated six wire connector that had yellow , green, white wires ... these provide extend, retract , and ground to and from solenoid mounted on pump motor
Also reseated spade connections to electric solenoid check valves to front, led and etc side gear valves
So far getting 13.6 at solenoid now for extend and retract signals.
There were no obvious signs of corrosion, etc but something was dropping voltage.
Note.... hydraulic slides worked fine since they have separate extend and retract signal wires connected to same two spade leads on the solenoid.
Might be useful for someone
Also highly recommend using Lippert App and live chat mode.. very quick response
