    Lippert leveling system in Mirada motorhome powers up on keypad. Jacks are retracted and pump will run for a few seconds if you push retract button so it knows jacks are up but neither in auto or manual will the pump run to lower jacks. The individual solenoids for front, rear, left and right receive 12 volts and do energize but the round pump motor solenoid and the directional solenoid on the valve body are not getting any voltage. If I jump the pump solenoid the motor runs but with no voltage it will not run via key pad. The control module has been replaced and Ii do not know what to trouble shoot next.
