i resolved this issue finally. i spent a ton of time on it and really tore into the hwh system and learned a great deal.
i have the system 680 control box. i also have two boxes that have indicator lights on them. one for each slide.
my six pack in the rear has 9 2 pin weatherpak plugs there. 4 plugs are for the rear up, down for each side. 2 are for travel mode, the other
3 are electrically tied together and are for the rear six pack low pressure switch. if yours still has it, it is a small round thing that screws into the incoming air source at the six pack. it is a normally open switch that closes and creates a ground when the air pressure is below 85 psi. on mine it had leaked and i took it out and plugged it but did order a new one that i installed. when the pressure switch is unplugged, the hwh control box thinks there is enough air pressure in the system to allow the rear bags to inflate during travel mode by the height control valves.
there is one pressure switch for the rear and it operates at 85psi. if you are below 85 psi, the control box gets a ground from the switch and turns the travel light off, indicating you do not have what is required to travel.
on the front six pack there are 2 high pressure switches. they operate at 20psi. if you are below 20psi in the bags, the switch closes, creates a ground and tell the control box that you do not have enough air in the front bags to travel.
that said, with the light off, it will not stop you from moving and will not stop the travel solenoids from activating. all the travel light is to do is to indicate if you have met all the conditions for travel. another indication is the slides being in with mine.
i traced the wires front to back. i measured voltages and grounds at the control box and at the back. hwh had a 5 week backup but they did call me after about 3 weeks and worked with me till completion. they were very helpful.
when i disconnected the wire inside the control box that was for the rear six pack pressure switch, the travel light came on.
i found the 6 pin plug that was about a foot from the control box up front that contained the wires going back to the rear six pack. it was grimey. i used contact cleaner and sprayed it out real well, then used compressed air to blow it out.
that is what fixed it. now to see if it stays fixed. ha
