Dennis do not send them anything, I sent them the card that had fried the traces on the board requesting a replacement. They said 4 to 6 weeks. I then called them before we left for Florida for the winter and told them not to ship the new board till I notify them on my return. They called me three times in the month of February telling me the same thing over and over the boards are obsolete. They are not replaceable with HWH products and I needed to remove the entire unit and send it to them. That was 7 months so I asked them to return the board which they did. I repaired the burnt traces found another one underneath one of the relays and its functioning properly. Now question is as these progress in age we all are doomed until one of us can come up with an alternative. Richard has some very good ideas using adreno or raspberry pi. In your case, I don't think that you have much to worry about. Replace those wires. Use jumpers with fuses or fuse holders and see if it works.

Good to know Jack, I do not have any experience with HWH. This was just someone from the Wanderlodge group that said they can repair it.
I have a guy that has offered to repair my board and I trust him. I am not an electronics guy, my world the electrons are alot bigger haha..
I came across another issue with mine the other day with not wanting to dump the right front airbag. Not sure what the heck is going on now. The board is not putting out power to that solenoid for some reason, does not even get to the fuse either, so its not a fuse issue. I was in the process of getting the coach in the air so I could work on getting the tag bushings done and so I did not spend much time troubleshooting this. I will have to get back to it at some point. It will probably work the next time knowing my luck.
Jeff like Dennis I offer you my assistance electronic repair has been my life since I was 19. On our Newell both slide and level controls are all in one box.
I try to do everything myself but tab axle bushings was too big a job for me so Josams it was.
So I got some of those wire levers and spliced in some wire yesterday. I cranked the motor up and aired it up, flipped my Newell added bypass switch off so it could come out of travel mode. And pressed the air level button twice and shut the key off. It auto leveled and the air level light stayed illuminated like it said in the book. Here are some pictures of the temporary set up. Will permanently put this together in the next day or so

Appreciate the offer Jack. I will keep you posted. I fo not get out of the south much other than trips to Tennesee. Going up to the new place for 4th of July but not brining the Newell.

Nice, are you going to try to remove the travel mode switch and see if it goes into travel mode on its own?
