Found the problem. And it took a voltage meter. The fuse in the front storage bin on the wire from the battery to the control module was only allowing 11 volts of juice. The fuse was lit up and showed continuity.
Also Lippert says the wire from the control panel should be connected directly to the battery not to the block near the battery.
I did that and put a new fuse in and it all works. 2 volts low and it would not work. Hope this helps someone else in the future.

While I was on the phone with Duchman, they directed me to what turned out to be the Lippert Control Module. I am making note of your experience and now know where to check should I encounter a Lippert malfunction. Thank you for this information. I noticed that I had difficulty getting the cover off as when I bought the RV, I had fabricated and installed a sliding tray for full pass through access by making a sliding tray that would bring everything to me just by sliding the tray half way out on either side. I also made a trough for that shelf to slide in, with a bracket to prevent me sliding it to fer out, unless I needed it all of the way out. This trough wall is made with a 1X4 and stands too high to easily pull the Lippert Panel cover. I shall remove just enough of the trough wall to allow easy access of the panel cover. I installed a door latch bolt to lock the tray in position on the passenger side so that it couldn't move while traveling. I will soon try to post photos of this system to show how it works. That is if I con remember how to post photos.

Glad you are good to go. For future reference do you know how to level your RV with the controls manually? If not it would be a good idea to know the procedure.
I never use AUTO mode to level, I use the Manual mode. Simply don't like the front of the RV dropping down so low with 6k pin weight.
