Members quickly identified low hydraulic fluid as the most common cause for the persistent jack alarm on the 2008 Winnebago Voyage, with several RVers sharing similar experiences. The consensus is that the system often checks fluid level in the reservoir rather than the physical position of the jacks, so if the fluid is low, the alarm may falsely indicate the jacks are still down.

Members quickly identified low hydraulic fluid as the most common cause for the persistent jack alarm on the 2008 Winnebago Voyage, with several RVers sharing similar experiences. The consensus is that the system often checks fluid level in the reservoir rather than the physical position of the jacks, so if the fluid is low, the alarm may falsely indicate the jacks are still down. One member cautioned about checking the correct fill port to avoid spills, while another noted that sudden stops or curves can trigger the alarm if fluid is borderline low.
Additional troubleshooting tips included checking the jack sensors and control box, as faulty sensors or weak springs can also cause false alarms. HWH, the likely manufacturer, offers a troubleshooting guide and phone support, and some members have resolved persistent issues by replacing sensors or consulting service centers. The original poster confirmed that topping off the fluid resolved the issue, and a final tip suggested waiting a minute after the jacks are stowed before shutting off the system to prevent pressure-related false alarms.
