My camper came with two remotes. One wired and the other wireless. Is it possible you have a second remote?
I only have one remote, I ordered one on eBay and the numbers in the photo in the ad matched my remote, but of course they sent the wrong one and now when I try to print the return label they sent me to return the wrong one I can’t get it to print ??????????

I had that problem and when looking at the controller board discovered that in the lower right hand corner, a wire lug had come loose from the board…I reinserted it and all was well…

What do you mean by the jacks behaved worse after you swapped the wires. Can you help someone like me visualize what is happening?

Originally as reported
All jacks work at once. That makes sense to me

The rear jacks work ok. Does that mean you can extend each rear jack individually or just extend them as a pair?

The Fronts don't work. Yep easy to understand.

You then tried swapping the wires and said it got worse. Can you describe what happened? Did you suddenly have no jacks? Did all the jacks except one rear stop working? If so which jack? Did a front jack ever try to work? If so which jack?

The All JACKS button Only the left rear goes opposite and Right rear goes opposite , the other jacks do not work at all. LEFT FRONT up button goes down and the left front down button nothing happens LEFT REAR down button goes up and the up button nothing moves RIGHT FRONT up and down buttons, nothing moves RIGHT REAR. up button does not work and down button goes up . I hope this isn’t too confusing.

Did the remote come with the controller board? It sounds to me like the encoding of the remote does not match the controller board. Different hardware revisions, different software revisions, or the like. If you bought them separately, I'd think you'd have to check with Happijac to see if they are compatible, probably need pn or serial numbers for each to tell.

LEFT FRONT up button goes down and the left front down button nothing happens

LEFT REAR down button goes up and the up button nothing moves

RIGHT FRONT up and down buttons, nothing moves

RIGHT REAR. up button does not work and down button goes up .

Nope it's actually clear when I space it all out as above. But yes I can see why you said it's worse. Going back to your original post where you say ALL Jacks work at once really sounds like the jacks and the controller are all working and as you suspected the remote is faulty.

1 Up and down refer to the camper direction. It's easy to get this confused, since the jacks extend downward to move the camper up.

2 If the jacks move opposite to what's described above, you have a polarity issue.

3 When all else fails, I find a power cycle reboot will cure things.
