Landing gear

[Ncheesman]

I have a 2010 keystone Montana 3400rl. Both the front and rear landing gear quit working altogether electrically. I checked all the fuses in the box and they were all good. Any suggestions.

There's also an auto reset fuse that should be on the back wall of the front compartment, somewhere near your batteries. I haven't had any problems with ours, but have seen a lot of talk in the MOC forums about people who have. There was also a recall on certain models of them back a bit.

Our Cougar has a 30A fuse in the coiled wiring harness from the battery. You can't see it since it is inside the coil wrap and is located about a foot or so from the battery. This fuse is for the front landing gear only on our unit since it doesn't have 12v operated rear jacks.

The fuse that Festus2 speaks of is located in the wire loom that goes from the battery to the front landing gear switch and then to the motor. The wire color is PINK and the fuse is in an "IN WIRE FUSE HOLDER" similar to this:

We also had that problem on ours. Unfortunately, the solution wasn't as simple as a fuse or in-line reset button.

On one trip after setting up on a slightly unlevel spot, we had difficulties hooking up to the hitch. We used the button to go up and down on the landing gear quite a few times and eventually got it to latch. When we then went to unhook, the landing gear wouldn't go down, so had to lower them manually.

Like you, we checked the fuses, they were all good. It took awhile, but after looking for about 2 hours, found the 12v supply wire that went to the switches ( on ours the switches are inside the storage compartment), had burned through. I repaired it, and really wondered why the wire burned up before blowing the 40 amp fuse. I think there were 2 reasons: 1. the wire was probably hooked up with a poor connection or the wire was partial broken and 2. Keystone uses a foam to hold wires in place and seal the switches and hold them into place and this held the heat on to the wiring. A thought at first, it may have been a problem to start with, so someone ingeniously thought to replace the standard fuse with a 40 amp one, but it looks like that is the defined size.
Hope yours is simpler than this!
