Steve, my travel green light function just as you describe. It comes on immediately but an additional five minutes or so is required to be in travel mode.

I talked with Steve and he told me where the front 6pack was located. I crawled under the best I could and looked around. I found 2 different sets of wires not connected. both are marked as pressure switch, each have two wires, on the female side I have one with red and white wires and the other has black and white wires. The male parts, both appear to have yellow and white. First what are these used for and should I hook them up and how do I figure out which one goes with which set or does it make a difference. Or do I leave them unplugged? I don't know if this will fix my leveling problem or not.

Steve is on to something. The easy way to see if the travel solenoids are getting power is this. While the engine is running, and the travel light on, open the side engine door, locate the six pack on the bulkhead to the right, and the two solenoids to the right should be magnetized. A simple screwdriver should stick to the center bolt on the solenoid if they are getting power.
It's a quick check.

Thanks Richard, I'll try that in the AM. It will work on the front one also won't it?
RE: HWH Series 680 leveler problem - Richard - 11-02-2014
yes, but the rear is SOOOOOOOOO much easier to get to

Just checked the 6 pack, guess what, nothing. At least we know something now, and that is the 6 pack is not coming on. So what is the next step?
RE: HWH Series 680 leveler problem - bestgenman - 11-03-2014
just be very careful when underneath the front while testing the six packs. if you would happen to fire the exhaust solenoid it would let the front lower and perhaps trap or even crush you. Always support the structural members with jack stands.

Remind us, are you still getting lights on the HWH panel? I am trying to confirm the panel is getting power.
RE: HWH Series 680 leveler problem - Bob Standeford - 11-03-2014
The lights come and blink some and all go off except the travel light.

Bob, in your first post in this thread, you said that "When I have it out of gear with the parking brake on and I push the air button the lights all flash on, the red ones go out, the 4 yellow stay on until I take my finger off the air switch, then only light is the travel light." That may indicate that the computer has a problem. The manual indicates that there should NEVER be more than 2 yellow lights on at a time and the the right and left side yellow lights should not be on at the same time nor should the front and rear yellow lights be on at the same time. That would indicate the all 4 sides are low which is nonsense.
Take a look at http://www.beamalarm.com/Documents/hwh/hwh_air_leveling_system_explained.html Section 3.9 near the bottom of the document. They give some suggestion on troubleshooting.
