Video Transcript for Lippert Ground Control 3.0 Electric Leveling System Replacement Control Module Review
Hi, John with etrailer. Chances are if you're watching this video you're having issues with your main control board for your Lippert Ground Control 3.0. Either the 4 point system or the 6 point system. We sell both of the boards here for those systems. Now, before we go and just make a sale and you buy a part that you may or may not need I wanna go over a few tips for you and let you know, number one, where is it located Number two, what could be causing some of the problems that you're having. So let's find out where it is first.
Now the control board needs to be installed in a dry location and it also needs to be installed as far forward on your camper as possible. So I'm gonna say 8 times out of 10 it's gonna be located in a compartment. Here, we've got our landing gear right here. If you take a look up and over, like on this camper here, chances are your control board's gonna be mounted to the ceiling. So this is our control board mounted on the ceiling in the nose of our camper here.
While you're here, one of the things you need to check make sure that that board is secured to the plywood and it's not loose at all. These things need to be secure. They are very, very sensitive. So to find center on your camper they can't just be hanging one way or another. So physically touch your board and see if it's loose at all.
Also, check the connections and check your fuses and make sure that those are okay as well. Now these systems also have a 50 amp circuit breaker that you would want to check, and that's here. Somewhere on these breakers you'll see the rated output for 'em. So it should, this system should be on a 50 amp breaker. You'll see other breakers here for the camper.
These are 30's and you can't tell just by looking at 'em, you'll have to read and it'll be printed somewhere on one of the sides of the breaker. So check that, make sure your breaker's okay, and also check make sure your ground is okay. Now, I will say that most of the problems that we encounter with these systems are due to the batteries. You gotta keep in mind that these systems are all electric, which means you're gonna have six electric motors running sometimes simultaneously but most of the time it's two at a time. You really need to have a good battery. I really recommend two batteries for this application. It's something where once the voltage starts getting low you kind of get a gremlin action with the controllers and they need a certain amount of voltage to work properly. So 9 times out of 10, if you're having weird issues that has come up every once in a while it could be battery related. So I'm not telling you to go buy a new battery but maybe if you can source one either from a car or your boat, try a new battery or a different battery and see if that solves some of your problems. Now, if your issue is a leveling issue where you hit auto level and your camper is not level you can always reset your zero point calibration. If you didn't do it in the beginning chances are it was done for you from the factory but you can redo it and I can show you how real quick here. Now, regardless if you have the 4 point or 6 point system, this is gonna be the same to reset your zero point calibration. My display is not gonna be on right here, but just know we'll be hitting the power button to turn it on. You wanna manually lower your front and rear jacks. Basically, you wanna level your camper manually. A good way to do that is to get a level and put it in the center of your camper and first level front to rear. So you would lower your front landing gear down, lower the rear landing gear down and double check your level and make sure you know, you make small adjustments until it's level. Then turn your level sideways. Then you wanna level left to right. Again, you can just hit left and right on the control panel until you're level both front to back and left to right. Once your camper's level now with the touch pad off, you'll press and release the front button five times, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and you're gonna press and release the rear button five times 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. This touch pad is gonna flash and beep and it will read zero point calibration, enter to set, power to exit. If you know that your camper is already level, hit enter and the display will read zero point stability check. And once it's gone through its little cycle it'll say zero point set successfully. At this stage your zero point calibration would've been reset. Now another common problem, especially on the 6 jack system, such as the one that we have here is you're gonna have an out of stroke error. Basically, that means the jack was too high off the ground probably because of un-level terrain either left or right or front to back, and the jack came down and it simply just ran out of stroke. It couldn't push down anymore. And so you're gonna get all sorts of weird errors either high amp errors or out of stroke errors. So something to keep in mind, and it really is for the 4 jacks too, make sure that you have these blocked properly. These jacks should be somewhere around 7 inches off the ground for maximum effectiveness, but even at 7 inches off the ground, if you're off on an incline either front to back or left or right, they're gonna have to overcome that to try to level your camper out. So make sure that you have the equipment necessary to block and brace these jacks. We have these available, check out our website. So that's some of the main pointers that you can look at. If you've checked everything else out and it just comes to the reality that you may need a new control board, well don't worry. If you can access your board like ours here then you can replace your board. The connectors do unclip fairly easily. And if all the power is already run and everything then you can simply unscrew the board from the plywood and put the new one up, secure it back down, and hook everything back up. And hopefully that works for you. So hopefully some of these tips help you out and you don't actually need a control board, but if you do just know that we have them here in stock. They're genuine Lippert components. And if you have the 3.0, if you have problems with anything else, such as the landing gear, the feet, or the mid jacks and rear jacks we have those parts in stock here for you too.

I have a Covid trailer and the Lippert Jack Controller module went out after 2 years. After getting great customer service with etrailer, due to Lippert changing part numbers, I was able to purchase the exact replacement. Installed it in 15 minutes, retracted and then leveled the trailer, followed the instruction to set the new Zero Point level (which took longer than swapping out the controller) and it it worked perfectly. I ordered it and had it the next day too because they had it in stock! Which my neighbors appreciated, since I couldn't move my trailer because the jacks were down and it was stuck ifo my house. Thanks etrailer for coming to the rescue!

Easy install, *The hardest part was getting into the narrow part of my pass through.* The leveling works better than it has since we bought the unit a year or so ago. (2016 Jayco 339 flqrs). We had to replace both the control pad and this control box. Now it all works the way it should.

Adam did a great job of getting this board out to me the same day I spoke with him. I needed it since we already had camping reservations in place , and my unit was allowing 7.5 volts to the touch pad (green wire) instead of zero . My touchpad would not come on. Etrailer had it in stock whereas lippert would have been a few days out. It would be nice if Etrailer still had military discounts , or senior, because their price was a good bit higher .
But it came in two days , it’s installed , and sitting very level . Thanks Adam

Control module was an exact match. Easy to install. Amy answered all my question before I ordered.

Plug and play replacement for my 2020.5 Grand Design 31MB. Had to turn the battery disconnect off and on to get all devices to re-sync once this new computer was installed. Then had to set the zero point before full features like auto leveling and from keypad began working normally. Pretty easy. Install itself took only 15 minutes.

Replaced defective unit with this one from eTrailer and, whoopee, everything works again. Easy job to replace. Talking to ICI gave no clue as to why the old one failed. It was about three years old and trailer had not been used much due to couple years of health problems. Worked last summer/fall then put away in storage and when went to hook up few days ago it was dead. ICI rep was wonderful in helping diagnose the problem. Korren at eTrailer was fantastic in arranging overnight delivery. Ordered Wednesday afternoon and unit was here Thursday late morning.

Sales person very helpful. Parts shipped the same day! Great service!

Just finished installing it and it work great.
Thanks

Easy to install, had to download instructions for initial set-up but that was no big deal. So far its working as it should. The unit is a little different from the original (Lower amperage fuses) but maybe that's a good thing.
Original problem was a COMM error.

We had arrived to our campsite when the control module for our auto leveling electric jacks went out. I called trailer and was able to get a replacement shipped to me. Rachel B. was incredibly helpful and was able to get the item shipped a day early. I ordered the item on a Tuesday and it arrive in California on Thursday. I fixed the jacks and it's been good so far. The repacement module is slightly different. The biggest difference is in the way it connects to power. The old module has a post for positive and negative wires from the trailer batteries. The new module simply has wires requiring you to snip off the original connections and, using wire nuts, connect the new module to the trailer. E trailer has always been great and I will continue to be a very happy return customer.
by: Barbara 11/20/2021
It was the right part I needed. It works perfectly. People just be careful about what you’re shoving in your underbelly. Previous owner broke the board for the leveling system because they shoved something up against it and one jack wouldn’t work. Cost me $178.00 to find out.
I’ll definitely be back to etrailer if I need parts for my 5th wheel.
by: Wayne 07/10/2022
Everyone at etrailer has been very helpful and responsive to any questions. The only problem I had was not the fault of Etrailer but UPS. The box the product came in was extremely damaged and retaped and packaged in a haphazard way. Fortunately the product was not damaged. I have had problems with UPS delivery in the past.

very helpful; save our vacation; thanks a lot. Dan
by: Robert01/20/2021
Purchased this item to convert the 6-point system I ordered to a 4-point system since the distance from the front landing jack to the rear jack is 14 feet. The controller works great.
by: Trace 12/20/2022
Service was excellent and we received the part in two days! Thank You Very Much

Pricy, but was an exact match and worked like a charm, easy swap out. 4 stars only because of price.

- Lippert Ground Control 3.0 Will Not RetractIf you have reset the system and they are still not retracting, you will need to check a few things. First will be the fuses. If one or more of these have failed, it can cause the system to not function properly. Next will be ground connections. A bad ground can cause any number of weird things to happen and this will definitely fall under this. You will need to make sure all the grounds have good solid connection to bare metal. However, if all the fuses and grounds are good, you will...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Low Voltage Message Lippert Ground Control 3.0We do suggest making sure your batteries are fully charged and testing your batteries voltage under a load. If you have already tested voltage and inspected all of the wires for damage, there is not much troubleshooting we can do beyond that for the Replacement Controller # LC304136. If you are still within the warranty period you should be able to get the control module replaced, otherwise it is time to buy a new controller
view full answer... - Replacement Circuit Board for Lippert Ground Control 4 PointThank you for the picture of the module your Lippert Ground Control kit has as I can tell from it that you have a 4 point kit. So for a replacement control module you'd want the part # LC304136. The "points" refer to the number of jack legs the kit has. A 4 point has 4 jack legs and a 6 point uses 6 legs.

- Replacement Control Module for Lippert Ground Control System that Errors OutIf you are absolutely sure your battery is in great shape and all of the wiring is good the module would be at fault and it would be time to replace it with the part # LC304136 that you referenced.
view full answer... - LCI Leveling System TroubleshootingI reached out to my contact at Lippert and they said that it sounds like you just aren't holding the 4 buttons for the reset long enough. It requires 5 seconds, but many people will count to 5 a little too fast and the system won't reset. He said if that doesn't work then the controller is bad and will need to be replaced. For instance, the Replacement Control Module for Lippert Ground Control 3.0 Electric 5th Wheel RV Leveling System # LC304136 is the replacement for the Ground Control...

- How To Clear Lippert Ground Control Leveling System Error If the Lippert Ground Control part # LC675817 display screen is displaying an error that says "Return Leveler for Service" then you should be able to just clear the code. There is not any specific information on why this error code happens but I would try to clear it first to see if it happens again. You can clear it by pressing the retract button and the enter button at the same time and holding them down for a few seconds. Once the code is cleared, if it displays again you will need...

- Front Jack Legs On Lippert Ground Control Lower When Slide Is UsedI spoke to my contact at Lippert about the issue you are having with your Lippert Ground Control Leveling System. They informed me that there is a problem with the valve on the front leg. The valve is either being bypassed or the set screw on the valve is open. I recommend you use a 5/32" allen wrench and verify the valve is closed by turning it counter clockwise. If the valve will not turn, it is closed and that means it most likely needs to be replaced.

To do that you have to hold down the four direction buttons for at least 5 seconds. If that doesn't fix the issue you'd have to replace the module with the part # LC304136 that you referenced.

With new batteries that would make me think you have a terminal or connection between the battery and the system that just isn't tight enough. This is assuming the battery has a good charge on it currently.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Ground Control Leveling System Where Front and Rear Jacks Only Operate TogetherIt sounds like you aren't achieving level because the jacks seem to be tied together versus independently. I recommend unplugging the system completely for 15 minutes to let it reboot. You will need to do a zero calibration again, however this will let us know if the control module has an issue or if the jacks are able to operate independently. If the jacks stay connected side to side and won't work independently then you likely need to replace the module with the Replacement Control...

With the Lippert 3.0 Ground Control system on your 2018 Grand Design 311BHS, I confirmed with my tech at Lippert that the voltage test should only be on the battery itself. The healthy battery voltage you should get is around 12.7 volts. He suggested taking a reading going into the controller itself as well as power from the controller. He also confirmed that 7 volts on the green and black connector wires is significantly low. If you unplug...

The correct part is the following: - Replacement Control Module for Lippert Ground Control 3.0 Electric Leveling System # LC304136

In the service manual you will need to follow the instructions for Homing Jacks and Zero Point Calibration on page 10. I attached a link on this page that will take you to the manual. Plus screenshots from the instructions that detail how to do the zero point calibration.

- Troubleshooting Lippert Ultra Level Hydraulic System That Has All Lights On Panel LitI checked with Lippert and they gave me the following instructions for your Ultra Level to clear the code you have: In order clear this error, press and hold all 4 directional buttons as once for 3-5 seconds. If this error comes back, check fluid level, breaker between pump and battery and then finally pressure switch.

- Troubleshooting Leveling System Where Jacks Indicate Down on Panel When Jacks are Retracted UpI reached out to my tech contact at Lippert and they said based on your description it sounds like you have a Level Up hydraulic unit. Normally the issue that you are stating occurs on those units when there is a pump pressure issue and the pump in that case would need replaced. If you have hoses that lead to your jacks, this is most likely the issue. If you have the ground control electric system with motors on each jack, let me know and we can continue to troubleshoot.

If you've got a Lippert Ground Control 3.0 # LC304136 system, I've gone ahead and listed the steps you'll need to follow below which will allow you to use the auto leveling again. If you've got a different type of leveling system, let me know and we may be able to track down some troubleshooting steps for that, as well.

view full answer... - Troubleshooting A Lippert Level Up System With a Retract Timeout ErrorI spoke with Lippert about your retract timeout error and they are saying that the error keeps coming back because the system is not retracting in the proper amount of time, so the error comes up to prevent your motor from burning up. I would start by checking voltages at the battery, solenoid, and pump motor, and I also recommend checking for leaking fittings, hoses, jacks, and pump as well.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Error Retract Timeout on LCI RV LevelersIf the touch pad is showing "Retract Time out Return Levelers for service" all you need to do is hit, enter and retract at the same time. That will clear that code. I confirmed this with our contacts at Lippert. Let me know if that fixes the issue or if the error code returns.
