HWH jack wont extend, 94pt

[Gregory OConnor]

I was preping my bus for radiator removal/rodding and new compressor
cooling lines today and I jacked the jack. I attempted to lift the
back end using two 8x8 timbers under the jack pads to gain some
height for frame jacksstands. the drivers side timber abruptly rolled
a bit in the gravel so I decided to drop the bus and use wider blocks
under the pads. the jacks retracted and I was never able to get the
drive/rear jack to extend once again?

The 94 hwh control pad only allow you to choose a pair of jacks or
auto level ;Both front ;both back ;both left ;both right or auto
level. I tried every combination to extend Drive/rear jack, no luck.

I wonder if I Knocked a sensor loose on the jack or confused the hwh
computer?

Gregory,
Don't forget when the rear wheels come off the ground the bus can
roll since the spring brakes are on the rear wheels only. Be sure
you have really big and strong wheel chocks on the front. Not those
cheesy stamped steel ones.

Every once and a while the switch on mine that is suppose to sense that the brakes are set doesn¢t work right. It is located in the generator compartment high to the left with either a green or green / white wire to both sides (this is from memory, an almost 60 yr old memory).

Try to jump the switch and see if it works.

Steve and Gardner, thanks both good info to add. I got a call from
Canada with the fix (RobR 93pt)It seems as the jolt was enough to
knock a poor ground wire loose on the jack. I reached ontop of the
jack and fiddled with the 3 wires and the jack extended with the
next attempt.

As per Gardners post I set the tires down with a ton or two to keep
it from rolling. my bus is in gravel so I can steam the engine while
the radiator is out and I fear a chock will just skid. On the PT
the tag has no park brakes. when you think about it if the drive
axle bags bleed out, the bus would take off rolling on the steer and
tag!!!!!!!

Steve is that brake switch in the the generator radiator Bay?

Greg,

I 've always wondered how these radiators come out. Do they slide out from the rear? How much of the body work needs to be removed? What do you think that beast weighs?

Greg You may to try turning your ignition switch off then on. Your system must have excessive slope that shows on you control panel. I had the same problem at Oshkosh last week, I called HWH and was told to do that, it worked.
