Ground control flashing lights in hatch storage 9 flashing red lights
So stopped by the trailer in storage today to put a few things in need Montana and when I shut off the battery disconnect i noticed some flashing red lights in the hatch. I had turned the main landing gear on for a minute just to check the battery voltage after running the generator for about thirty mins. The lights blink 9 times red then one green. There is two of these little things mounted in the ceiling of the hatch. . It’s not the main ground control box. I was in a hurry. It was dark and of course my phone went dead so I couldn’t get a picture of the boxes. There is definitely some writing on the indicators for what the lights mean. I’ll get some pics tomorrow in the daylight but any ideas. No error codes on the main control unit. I probably just need to run the auto level or something.

Can’t speak for your gear, but my brother-in-law has a Forest River TT, a lippert controller for his slide was flashing the other day, we looked it up and the sequence of lights indicated a low battery. If you ran the generator for half an hour, that may not have been enough time depending on what your controller wants to see for volts and/or amps.

Battery voltage would be the first thing I would suspect. If batteries are left inboard the battery disconnect from the factory does not disconnect all of the parasitic loads. The battery or batteries will drain down to where it can take several hours to fully recharge. Do a forum search on "parasitic" or "parasite loads" and you'll have plenty of reading available.

Should of pointed out the battery is fully charged as it was plugged in two days ago. But it was dead before that. So how do I make thes flashing red lights go away.

If the battery was "dead 2 days ago" it may show a "fully charged surface charge" (13 VDC) but any load on the battery will draw that voltage down to "below fully charged" immediately after the load is applied. In other words, if the battery was completely discharged, remained in that state for any length of time, it may be damaged beyond the capability to hold a charge and is permanently damaged.
I'd take them out of the trailer, take them home, put them on a charger for a day or so, then take them to an auto parts or battery store and have them load tested.
While they "might be OK", with your leveling system behavior, I'd first suspect that the batteries are "toast".....

Thanks for the battery tips but I’m aware of it. I forgot and left some lights on for a 48 hour period while farting around but charged it back up immediately.
Looks like manual says I can press In on the slide out switch to reset it so I might go over and try that later and see if it resets. I just wasn’t in hurry last night cause it was Xmas Eve.
