If you mean system won't power up, there is a inline fuse close to the battery size 150 to 175 amps resettable with a push button. Locate red lead on hyd pump and follow to battery, you'll find it there.

I have sliders but the panel for the leveler is dead. Every fuse and circuit breaker has power to both sides. Everything is pristine clean with no corrosion. I was wondering where that dash panel gets power from? Could it be the leveling control panel and how to test It besides plugging in a new one? Coincidentally the am/fm/dc player right next to it is also powerless. 7,000 miles on this 08 v10. I've checked the big buss breaker and it has power both sides.

I can assume here slides are electric powered and levelers are LCI hydraulic driven?

If so any system, slides, jacks, and levelers, over 30 amps or so power is provided by large cables with in line resettable fuses. LCI pumps are at least 100 amp systems. The power to the driver console derives at the pump skid. There are separate feeds for parking brake etc.

Have check the fuse panel under the dash on the drivers side?
You obviously blew a fuse. Check all the fuses with a volt meter and check for 12 volts.
This may look like yours.

Check the yellow fuses first.

Do you have the engine running to operate the levellers?

Iggy thanks. I was able to check most of those fuses. I had a feeling that it might be in there and you gave me the answer I needed before removing the driver's seat to check them all properly.
What a place for the fuse block with all the room they had to place it, they shoved it down in that corner.
Bubbles yes motor running and parking brake set.

There is a fuse holder in the wire loom connecting multiple leads to the Lippert pump skid. The fuse is in a hinged rubber protecting a white wire leading to the dash control. Mine just under steps in that ribbed wire protector made of plastic.

Do you have a Windows platform? Mine will not open on the iphone but it opens instantly on a Windows 7 laptop.

NA, the picture here is a LCI pump and its wiring harness. Its located under the steps and the largest bundle has the fuse sticking out that powers the front console. I'll see if I can convert the pic to another format. You should try to open the attachment using Windows format.

Ok. Thanks for hanging in here. I checked all the fuses under left side of the dash (Grumble grumble) . All fuses were good. Found the radio problem. The in line noise suppressor had a bad connection. Stereo works fine and the cd player quit running with the vehicle of. Next to get back into the pump area (mines on leftside in a compartment covered inside a box) and recheck those connections.
