Good morning all:

The warning light and buzzer on my dash "level warning" goes off when I raise my
jacks. The HWH panel operates as it should and all jacks are shown as "up" and
the system indicates "travel" and then shuts down. Visual check which I always
do, indicates all jacks up.

I suspect I the dash light and buzzer are the issue. Anybody know how to
disconnect that buzzer. I can live with the light, but that buzzer drives me
crazy. I'm going to Moscow, Iowa this summer to have my jacks serviced anyway.

Thanks

On mine there are 4 individual light associated with the jack that is in the
down or not all the way up position I do have a switch that turns them off also.
I believe you have to have the key on or engine running to get the buzzer on my
1985 pt 40. You could just disconnect the jack that is causing a down signal.
There is a wire at each jack that has a quick disconnect type fitting just take
it apart and you will not get a down signal from that associated jack this would
be easier than disconnecting the buzzer I believe. This won't help the real
problem it will illuminate the one jack that is causing the problem and leave
the other three still working as they should

At each jack there is wire with a quick disconnect type plug, just disconnected
it and you will not get the info from that jack that it is up or down. you will
have to find the jack that is causing the buzzer.

If it's just the buzzer that is the issue:
On our 2000 LXI, in order to turn the buzzers off, we open the fuse panel behind
the co-pilot's footrest and pull fuse #1. This will effectively turn off the
warning buzzers and allow you to travel peacefully.
If what's happening is that your slide is in, your jacks are up and the travel
light is lit; and the level light is on and your buzzer is buzzing, AND your
coach won't move when you put it into gear then you have another problem. Then
I would open your slide electronics box and toggle the toggle switch in the
upper right hand corner of the box to the opposite position. Your coach will
now move and the buzzer should be off.

Tommy,

Check your HWH fluid level at the reservoir. I think the

sensors that tell the HWH brain that your jacks are up are

actually fluid level sensors in the tank. If the fluid is low the

brain doesn't think your jacks are up.

Note that the pre-slide out WLs have a "level" warning light that seems associated with the jack system. I don't exactly know what the warning purpose is... I've never had the light come on...

Thanks, y'all!

According to my WL manual (1994 WLWB, PT 40 - no slides) and schematics, as well
as the HWH manual the "level warning" light/buzzer is only related to the
leveling jacks. Supposed to activate only if one or more of the jacks fail to
retract.

As I posted, the HWH power panel indicates all my jacks are up and the "travel"
light comes on. A visual confirms all jacks up. Ideally, and this is the way it
worked before I experienced this problem, the light/buzzer would go off as soon
as the "travel light" came on. Now the dash light/buzzer just stays on. Very
aggravating. I did notice in my HWH manual that inside the control box (in the
middle of the forward bulkhead in the basement) there is a 2-pin "master warning
light/buzzer".

Look at the BB schematics, it seems the wiring from this pin traces straight to
the light/buzzer on the dash.

I'm going to see if pulling this pin stops the "racket" yet allows the jacks to
fully retract, unless of course one of you all advise against it. This might be
a quick fix until I can get to HWH.

Thanks for your comments David:

Checked my reservoir and fluid is right at the "one inch from top" level. Fluid
therefore is not an issue and I have no leaks.
