Default Wont go down.

My funlite camper will raise fine. but it wont lower by using the switch. I have to pull the cable and operate the manual lever on the pump unit to get it to lower. Is this just a switch problem. If so where can I get a switch. If not, what might be the problem.

Hi Mike,

Just reread your post and realized you wrote that the trailer went up just fine. Therefore, DOAH, the battery must be charged!

Before replacing the switch, it did work to raise the top after all, I'd try cleaning and tightening the connections to the bleed valve.
