I have a 2001 damon intruder with a 351 ford v 10 engine.

I am hookedup to electric and had the motor running and aslo tried with the motor off and i cannnot get the hydralic levelers to go down.

I did have them down, and i have been sitting here in a campsite for about 3 months. today, i raised the levelers with no problem, light ccame on the levelers and jacks lifted.

then i put boards under the levelers and when i when to put them down ii could not here any noise and no lights and the jacks did not come down

the brand name on the levelrs says HWH hydalic levelers. I have a fuse in this unit, it is 5 amp. I am going to the store to get a couple more fuses to see if that is the problem. the fuze does not appear to be broke

any suggestions, please

The jacks wouldn't go down for me once. Turned out the parking brake wasn't engaged.

I have the fuze out and will replace and then i will bump the parking brake by releasing it and reapplying it. I will probably do this several times just to make sure.
Thanks for your information, sounds good to me.

Thanks for you help. Hydralic jacks are working fine now.

I replaced the fuze and that did not seem to have any effect.

I released the emergency brake several times and mashed it good putting it back on. that did not seem to have an effect.

My hydralic jack levers are on the floor and i started jiggling the handles and i could see a green light ocassionally. Well then i started jigging both of them intermitently and low and behold i had a steady green light and the jacks worked fine.

The MH has been sitting here for 3 months and perhaps i needed to run them once in a while. But anyway thanks again.

NOTE: If i take the cover off of the controls of the hydralic jack controls....is that where the ground is?
