Okay Jim.... I will reply back if I can figure out what is going on. I am about to resolve to taking into shop just to get stupid situation off my "list" and, rest assured that any uneven parking spots don't take away from a good trip.
One added note - indication light on the Jacks Panel for the parking brake DOES NOT ILLUMINATE. Any thoughts? Anyone? All other Parking Brake indicators (i.e. Dash, slideout etc.) are working fine and, Parking Brake DOES engage/work properly.
Thanks. TR

My guess would be that your level sensor is bad. Also your control may be bad to. If you take the touch pad off the control there is a blade fuse on the board under it check to see if it is blown.

Ok...here are my findings. I think there are 2 problems here. Kwickee sent me a new control module and it solved my problem but I have the old module and it will work in a pinch. It appears that when the coach is sitting and the chassis battery gets low the control module on the jacks freaks out and does this goofy sequence. If you disconnect the module and leave it disconnected for 30 minutes the board completely drains and resets. If you then reconnect the control board the problem will be resolved until the next time the battery goes low. The new board does not seem to have the same sensitivity. Before you take the coach in try what i said and see if it works. Then charge your chassis battery by running the engine for a while. I would bet that your battery is low and causing the board to wig out.

That because your new one is more than likely made in china. Look under the touch pad they will be different.

It's not recommended to run the jacks up or down without the engine running anyway.

Thanks for all input. I checked the fust under the panel and it is in good shape (both my old board and the new replacement board sent by kwikee have this fuse). Batteries in coach full capacity. I did as suggested and disconnected the panel and let it sit disconnected for several days. Then, reconnected the panel and - same problem as before. Driverside rear jack wants to come out all by itself and will not stop coming down until I power off system (and, this jack is only one moving). Also, parking brake indication still not illuminating on panel (but does work everywhere else in coach - so, I know brake is set). Could Kwikee have sent a replacement panel that is freaky? Thanks again for all help. TR
