six point auto leveling
I now there have been alot posts on the auto leveling system but had this happen today. When trying to run slides in the front jacks retracted and slides would not come in. The only way to get slides in was to hook up to truck then slides would go in this is a 2013 3535 Alpine

My guess is a bad battery. Were you still hooked to shore power? If so maybe a bad converter and a bad battery or just one or the other.

I have the 6 point level up and have not had that problem, as above poster said bad or weak battery sounds like the case...

I have the six-point leveling system, however, I don't think the leveling system is relevant to the slide out issue. My slide out controls have an information sticker posed which states "battery hookup required for slide out operation".

Have the 6 point level up on our fuzion so far it just pops or snap sound when it cool out in the am.
So if I am reading it right you are pulling in the slides and the front jacks start to move? That dose not sound safe.

Wow that's not right at all I would say.
Yea we pull in chock the wheels I lift the front up just till its off my hitch maybe 1/8" pull away then hit the self level and it dose its job then the kids hit the slides and we are all set.
I did not think the slides and self level was on the same setup.
Hope you can get it fixed cause it sounds like a accident waiting to happen.

Here you go the fix for front jacks moving with the slide switch. I removed front landing cylinder electric solonoid to inspect for debris. at 1st did not see anything but after blowing out and moving valve several times a piece of slag finally surfaced removed and reinstalled. The whole level up system works better than ever.

My auto level also was doing the same popping with temp. changes but after i fixed the bypassing hydraulic cylinder valve on front landing cylinder i have not heard a thing and we have had temp changes. I know there have been alot of posts about the popping noise just wonder if maybe these valves are the culprit. I have the lippert tech reps . direct line that helped me if anybody wants it pm me he knows his stuff and will be the only one i will talk to.

1st have it hooked to truck and retract front cylinders up all the way at the top of r.f. cylinder there is a elec. plug unplug from solonoid and unscrew black knob and slide elec. solonoid off valve stem then you can unscew valve. make sure 5/32 allen in rear of valve is turned counterclockwise i used light air pressure to blow out 4 holes and down through center of valve oriface you can turn allen in and out to move and clean and from cylinder side of valve you can depress seat in and out when turning allen screw just make sure allen screw is turned counterclock wise back seated when you reinstall. thats how i did mine Good Luck
