Lippert Ground Control Leveling System Shows ERROR, LF Jack
Question:
Have a new fifth wheel, came equipped with the leveling system. Arrived at the campground, Turned the system on to raise the front jacks to disconnect from tow vehicle. During this process, received a ERROR, LF JACK message. I was able to disconnect and lower the camper to level. When it was time to leave, I was able to raise the camper to reconnect. I believe I failed to put the system in MANUEL MODE before I started lowering the front jacks to disconnect, not sure if that would cause the ERROR. Everything else I did to disconnect and reconnect was done with the ERROR message on. This is on a 2016 Montana, 34 foot. Two questions, How do I clear the error message? How do I prevent future error messages? Thanks.....

On the Lippert Ground Control 3.0 # LC358590 the error you are receiving indicates either a problem at the left front jack, a hall signal issue (open ground/short, or other malfunction) or an unexpected high amperage current stall (meaning the battery stopped providing power for some reason).
To clear the error you can either fix what is causing the error such as a loose or damaged wiring harness, or follow this method:
Extend all jacks at least 6 inches. Then press and hold the retract button until the jacks begin retracting. All of the jacks should fully retract and clear the error.
If you have a 6-point system the middle jacks only operate in error mode. To engage the middle jacks you would need to press the left and right buttons simultaneously.
Check the manual for the system because some things have to be done in a certain order for the system to operate correctly. That should prevent future errors (unless there is an actual electrical or mechanical problem).

When auto leveling, the front jacks keep going up and I needed to pause the system to ensure nothing would break. What’s wrong?

When I was hooking my 5th wheel up to my camper, one of my six point leveling feet and leg it is attached to just fell to to the ground from it housing. You could push the leg up without and resistance. Had to wire it up to move the camper. Can this problem be fixed.without replacing it.

JimI have a 2019 Cougar 367FLS with the LF jack error. I have checked the fuse, checked the wiring harness and get a signal that is simply the test light going on and right back off, I cannot raise or lower the jack electronically. is there some way I can reset this condition. the camper has been used only twice and worked flawless.

Is there something going wrong with the jack?After letting it sit overnight we were able to extend the jack. Makes a grinding noise. Will extend a couple inches and then just stops, other leg is extending and its not making any noise, just stops functioning.

Trying to autolevel mg 3.0 system. After unhooking from truck, I went to autolevel and all six jacks faulted! My 5th wheel will not autolevel at all until I retract all jacks to clear faults.
