2005 Georgetown XML with LCI leveling

The LCI electronic leveling system will not come on. It did this once before and I finally found the breaker by the battery box....but this did not work this time.....when I started the unit it was sounding an alarm and pushed the on/off switch and it stopped....but now the system will not come on...we checked the batteries ....the breaker switch...had the gen set running and the truck engine running......
When I disengage the parking brake....and press the on....the light wii come on,but dim....when we engage the parking brake, the light goes out ....
I really think it's a electrical issue......but I am lost as where to go from here...
Any help is appreciated.....

Sound like your tank level is too low. Have you checked the AT Fluid?

I'm not sure your model is being 2005 but I attached a few documents here to print out and read.


2. Will low Fluid cause the system to act as I described....

If you have a 2005 like mine, you do not have auto leveling. All manual. Check your fluids and if that's all good I agree with the electrical issue. Maybe the switch.

My switch has acted freaky a couple of times. The big issue is that I think these components are obsolete and may be hard to find

That said, there is. A mechanical reset procedure where you open and close all of the valves. But I'm unsure if that would help your issue.

Good luck

Bill

If it's a Ford chassis, I had a mini fuse burn out in the fuse block under the steering wheel. It supplied power to the levelling system that monitors emergency release. It was marked in the Ford manual as power to chassis maker. There are several of these so check all the fuses in the block, it may help.

We had this same issue on our 2006 while on vacation this year. Called Lippert Tech support and found under the steps a battery terminal became corroded and had actually broken off the connector. Just had to slide back under screw and re-tighten and it started working.

Good luck

Most problems can be prevented if you look and check your systems out before any trip. Some folks don't have the background to understand or do any preventive steps and this usually has a system fail when in use on a trip and they don't understand why it happens to them.
I read it here numerous time that the owner has no idea where the multi fuse panels are and what they are for. We had one who after many years of use the slides and levelers stopped working and he never knew that their was a tank for the ATF fluid he needed to check. Others here don't understand how to check their cold tire pressure before a trip.
That is the great thing about this forum. All they have to do is ask and 99% they can find the answer. BUT they need to ask before they have a problem at some remote location with little or no help.


Good luck all.
