Jayco Leveler fix...Seneca and Greyhawk November 13, 2007, 03:21:30 pm Yahoo Message Number: 291Thanks for all the replies to my first post. The biggest thing thatI have disliked about the Greyhawk was that every time I cranked theMH in the driveway the DA.. levelers would dump.I started doing some research and posted over on RV.net but never gota good answer. I got several suggestions, but most involved tracingdown a circuit or wire until I found the correct wire. I knewsomebody had figured this out, I just had to find the answer.First of all....I am not advocating doing away with ANY safetyfeature. If anyone does this modification after reading this, YOUARE ON YOUR OWN. It worked for me, but I am not telling you to doit, or that it will work. However........I got a little help via email from a reliable source that allowed meto fix this problem. It seems that Jayco, like other companies, putout service bulletins on an as needed basis. Jayco callsthese "Product Improvement" notices, and they send them to dealers.Jayco PI number P106-003 (dated May 07 I think) pertains to this veryproblem and provides a fix that is suppose to be done via a dealerand you have to sign a "Confirmation of Removal" form after the fix.Now, before I go on, remember that this only does away ( on MYGreyhawk) with the levelers "not dumping" when you go to the the runor crank position. You still have the "park brake release" andthe "placing in gear" actions that will still dump the levelers tokeep you from driving off with them down. Now, I suppose an IDIOTcould jump in, crank the engine, let off the park brake, throw it ingear and gas it(all within a couple of seconds) and manage to tear upthe levelers.The fix: Boy, this is a real tuffy....(grin)Under the kick panel on the drivers side by your left foot (it isblack plastic on mine) is the usual bunch of wires, fuses, etc youfind in this area on most vehicles.In among all the stuff you find you will see a black (mine was black)standard looking 30 AMP relay. I think it only has two wiresattached to it, but I can't remember for sure. Anyway, onthe "number 30" leg (or terminal) of the relay there is a green wireattached. Pull this green wire off, cut off the female slideterminal on the end of the green wire and re-install (crimp on) around 1/4 inch ring terminal. Just below (in the same area) you willsee a factory GM ground point (screw), clean the area with sand paperif you want to (mine worked as it was, no sanding) and attach thegreen wire. I think the ground point screw is 10mm.Bingo...you are done and no longer have the levelers dump with thekey on only.As I said, you are on your own doing this. It worked for me. Isuggest you test everything several times afterwards to make sureeverything still works as you expect it to. My Greyhawk will stilldump the levelers when I release the park brake or put thetransmission in gear.I do not have my spell check on this computer...sorry if any mistakesare found.Mike Quote Selected

It was forSeneca units with Power Gear hydraulic levelers. It worked on myGreyhawk with the same levelers., "smokie39157" wrote:QuoteThanks for all the replies to my first post.
