Leveling Jacks Problem

[Scott Forman]

I am having problems with my levelers on my 82 FC...they don't life
well at all. The best I seem to be able to get out of them is a few
inches of lift, not enough to even get a tire off the ground. They
will hold at whatever level I can get them to, they just won't extend
much. I have checked the oil level at the step well, and it is full.

Suggestions?

--- i've seen this before,in my case it was a strap between the
solenoid and the motor on the pump,the strap was burned as were the
nuts,i filed the strap and replaced the nuts with brass nuts.
the pump is under your step area.

hello. I tried this morning to move ouor bus and I couldnt get the
leveling jacks to reset. This has been an ongoing problem starting a
couple of years ago. At the control panel beside the drivers seat the
toggle switch to turn the system on is not turning it on. When the
switch is pushed one of the two solonoids clicks under the stairs but
the system does not come on. Before if I continued to flip the switch
sometimes hundreds of times over several hours, eventually it would
come on and then function properly. Most of the time though it would
come on normally this situation would only occur some of the time.
About a year ago I had to replace one of the solonoids when the
leveling system stopped working completely. It is this solonid that is
clicking now when the switch is activated. Any idea on what I should
check?
