Power gear leveling jacks

2 weeks ago went out for our first trip in new rig and they would not auto level. Gone now for a 2 week trip and pull in to set up and now all it says is low voltage and will not do anything. Have tried with engine running and generator on, as well as plugged into 50amp service. Anyone have any suggestions on what I can do?

I had this happen after repeated unsuccessful tries to level. The motor ends up pulling a lot of load and trips a breaker.

What model do you have? If there's a "electrical" storage compartment look in there. Likely a 50A individual breaker that looks something like this:

Checked all these breakers no success. Still searching for answer checked all batteries today. Each one has 13.7 volts. Not sure where the problem is.

leveler switch

ours has a separate toggle switch that just shuts off power to levelers- also the breakers mentioned, shows low volt if switch is off

Update: carried to dealer and after a half day of trouble shooting, found the problem. 10amp inline fuse that is located outside just above the bottle that holds the fluid for leveling system. Fuse was not blown but had a lot of corrosion on it, replaced it and works perfect again.
