Troubleshooting 10 Amp Fuse Blowing on Lippert Ground Control 3.0 Leveling System
Question:
I have a Forest River Sandpiper 43 ft 5th wheel 2017 with lippert leveling system. When loading to my truck leaving the dealership, the fuse blew when raising legs. The salesman replaced at the wiring panel with a 10 amp fuse gave me a spare and said no problem. Fuse blew again loading camper a month later and I fortunately had the spare fuse. Took back to RV wholesalers for fix of issues and they said they had no problem when testing it. Fuse blew again when loading up. The repair shop replaced with 15 amp fuse and said OK to go. I am concerned about that fix. I talked to someone at Lippert and he suggested I move the red ground wire from the top center connection and put on the side connector on the unit I sent in picture. Since I cannot locate a wiring diagram and dont think the service at the RV dealer knows about it, I would like confirmation in writing from someone in a responsible informed position. I am taking a long trip soon and would not like to have problems when trying to hitch up in the morning leaving campgrounds. Is it possible that having that lippert control panel on when retracting the 5 slides on the unit can blow the fuse also? Could you help? Thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:
I spoke with my contact at Lippert regarding the issues you are having with the Ground Control 3.0 Leveling System # LC358590. He actually stated that this system requires a 15 amp fuse at the wiring panel so the problem may have simply been due to the incorrect amp fuse being used. He is not sure why a 10 amp fuse would have been initially installed at the dealership. With the 15 amp fuse in place this should no longer be an issue. You should not need to change any of the wiring on the system.
