    The hydraulic pump circuit breaker was the culprit in our situation. Lipert recommends an 80 amp breaker we replaced our 50 amp breaker with a Bussmann CB185-80 Surface-Mount Circuit Breaker, 80 Amps.

    Your relay is going out. There's a line of 3 or 4 them next to the hydraulic system in the front compartment. Have someone operate the slides or jacks and see which one clicks...it's the culprit. Should be a 40 or 50 amp, probably 50A. They're about $10 at any RV store.

    Mine started doing the same thing this weekend. Move partially and then click. 80 amp breaker ordered. Another thing it did when we returned home was while pressing the up button on the front jack control panel to unhitch, it clicked. I waited a few seconds, pressed the up button again and my slides extended. Pressing down did not retract them. I had to go inside put them in. I then switched over to the leveler on the OneControl panel and noticed it seemed to be rebooting the leveling system as it had lost communication. Hopefully, it's all related.

    Thanks Jim - showing 13.1 while on shore power and the 2 40amp fuses on the converter appear to be good.
    Wondering if the auto-reset 50amp breaker might be going bad.

    I got the 80 amp breaker installed last weekend and all is good now. The 50 amp was apparently my issue as well.

    Yup a trip to NAPA yesterday for the 80 amp breaker and I can get to hitch height now and raise the landing gear without it clicking and stopping.
