I had this exact same problem last summer, everything operated fine but it would not auto lower. The outside height sensors had failed. I put in new ones and nearly instantly they failed. So I ran a new 12 volt wire to power the solenoid valves through relays. The system wiring now activates only the relays, all has been fine since. Still not sure what was going on, a voltage spike or ???? But the system power was frying the height sensors. I cooked 4 of them, when I went to 5 & 6 I installed the relays. If you figure anything else out, please let me know.

All functions work on my Electrolevel I ACCEPT, when the coach is high, and I put the middle switch in AUTO, it does not level out automatically. It
will automatically level if the coach is low. If it is low, I just set the switch to AUTO and it comes up to level and stops at it's preset point.
Bot UP and DOWN switches work to manually raise or lower. I have checked out the "AUTO/HOLD" switch and it is functioning properly. Any Ideas?

Ray, the EL 1 still has the pneumatic/hydraulic ride height sensors, not
the electronic ones like the EL 2.

Ray, thanks for the response, but sounds to me like you have the EL-2 ? My 78' has the EL-1 so it has only one relay for the pump. Thanks anyway...
