jacwjames Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I've never had a problem with the jacks, Set up now ready to leave and the jacks will not retract. none of them. I can extend/lift the coach but not retract. I am going to use the relief valves to bring them up so I can hit the road and solve the problem later. Any suggestions on what to look for???? I did check the fuse, which I knew worked since I can extend the jack. It was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbr046 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Do they retract under the weight of the coach? Sometimes one or two of mine don't retract fully. The previous owner supplied a 2x4 for the final few inches. Once the retract button is pressed I have to race real fast to that corner and pry it up with the 2x4. I have less than a minute and sometimes have to extend a bit to retract if the "jacks down" led is lit. Once the system thinks retraction is complete they are locked solid and I have to press the button again. Good luck, - bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillRunning_60 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Know the feeling. My hydraulic jacks don’t always retract fully. I carried a little a small jack along to sometimes finish the job. I would clean them good when I got home. I think it is the nature of the Windsor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikadoo Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 (edited) Hey Jac its funney you should mention this issue, something like this happened to me just the other day. I started my rig an went to raise my levelers an NOTHING, no light an no nothing, all i did was wiggle my ignition switch an the indicator light came on an then it all was working. I dont know if it was a coincidence, however it hasnt happend since. Now i just replaced my ignition switch maybe 8 or 9 months ago for a starting issue which immediately solved that issue, an on my trip to Az i had one time when my turn signils didnt work, again i wiggled the key an “boom!” They started to work... after saying all this perhaps i need to carry a spare.

Gary 05 AMB DST Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Rikadoo, Do you have a bunch of things hanging on a key ring that you use for the ignition switch? I had that problem and now just keep the key in the ignition. Gary 05 AMB DST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacwjames Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 Well, I feel stupid. Normally when I retract the jacks I can feel the coach move etc. I didn't feel anything and just assumed the jacks didn't move. Checked the fuses and then used the emergency retract procedure and still didn't feel anything and then saw all the jacks were up. DUH!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
