LCI's help line is outstanding if you give them a call. I had the same issue an there was a faulty harness. There is a connector that will retract the jacks when its disconected.

I now keep a cordless drill and a 1/2" socket with extension in the coach
just in case. Oh and a allen wrench to open the valves.

In the picture with batteries look up to the l top left side.

When that lever is showing, you blew the failsafe,

just push it back down and you are good to go.

Your saying to just unplug that gadget and the jacks will automatically retract?? What is that gadget and how will the jacks just go up by unplugging it?

That plug connects to the directional valve. The directional valve will have a black & white wire leading to it. When this is unplugged the pump assembly should do nothing but retract.
