OEM replacement 12V DC pump motor for EQ Systems hydraulic pump #2542KS. Bi-rotational pump motor for EQ Smart-Level systems in RVs, horse trailers, motorsports, and commercial vehicles. Made in the USA. Consult the EQ Systems Motor Replacement Chart to confirm correct part number before ordering.
Motor #3713 is specifically for pump #2542KS. EQ Systems uses many different motors across their pump lineup — the correct motor depends on your specific pump model number. Installing the wrong motor can cause system damage or failure. Before ordering, locate the model number on your existing pump and verify #3713 is correct for your unit. If you are unsure, contact EQ Systems Technical Support at 800-846-9659 or [email protected] and provide your pump model number, vehicle year, make, and model. EQ Systems maintains a Motor Replacement Chart — ask for a copy when confirming compatibility.
The EQ Systems Replacement Motor #3713 is the OEM pump motor for the EQ Systems hydraulic pump #2542KS — a bi-rotational pump used in EQ Smart-Level automatic leveling systems for motorhomes and trailers. When the pump motor fails, replacing the motor alone is often more economical than replacing the entire pump assembly, and Motor #3713 restores full system operation when correctly identified and installed.
This motor is designed and built for 12V DC operation and is manufactured in the USA. EQ Systems hydraulic pumps can draw up to 160 amperes at a minimum of 10.5V DC during operation — the motor and its electrical connections must be in good condition and properly grounded for reliable performance. The pump grounds through the motor case to the pump port plate, which has a grounding stud that must be connected to a heavy cable back to the battery or vehicle frame.
Note that pump #2542KS is an older EQ Systems pump model. If the pump itself is also failing or significantly worn, EQ Systems offers a complete replacement pump assembly option. Contact EQ Systems to discuss whether a motor replacement alone or a full pump assembly replacement is the right path for your system.
OEM EQ Systems replacement motor — manufactured in the United States for the 2542KS pump
Designed for 12-volt DC vehicle electrical systems — requires a minimum of 10.5V DC and up to 160A at startup for proper operation
Designed for the bi-rotational 2542KS pump used in EQ Smart-Level systems — powers both extend and retract hydraulic functions
Replacing the motor alone can restore full system function at lower cost than replacing the entire pump assembly when the pump body is otherwise sound
When an EQ Systems hydraulic pump stops working, the failure may be in the motor, the pump body/valves, or both. Choosing the right repair path saves time and money: Replace Motor Only (Motor #3713) Best when: The pump body, hydraulic valves, and reservoir are in good working condition — only the motor has failed How to confirm: With 12V applied directly to the motor and the motor not running, the motor is likely the issue; if the motor runs but jacks don't respond correctly, the problem is likely in the pump valves or solenoids Lower cost — motor replacement only Replace Entire Pump Assembly Best when: The pump is old or otherwise degraded, has hydraulic leaks at the pump body, has stuck or failed valves, or when EQ Systems recommends full replacement Note: Pump #2542KS is an older model — EQ Systems offers a replacement pump assembly.

Motor replacement on EQ Systems hydraulic pumps should be performed by a qualified RV service technician. Key points: 1. Contact EQ Systems First: For systems under warranty, authorization is required before any repair. Call 800-846-9659. 2. Confirm Motor Failure: Apply 12V DC directly to the motor terminals — if the motor does not run with direct power, the motor has failed. If it runs with direct power but not through the control circuit, the solenoid or controller is the issue, not the motor. 3. Check Grounding: Poor or no ground is a leading cause of motor failure. Verify the pump port plate grounding stud has a heavy cable connected to the battery or vehicle frame — #4 gauge minimum, #2 gauge for runs over 12 feet. 4. Motor Removal: Some motors have a black plastic plug at the end — remove by prying. Others have a foil sticker — remove the sticker. Access the manual override shaft at the end of the motor for positioning during removal. 5. Wiring: Note wire color assignments before disconnecting — the extend solenoid uses a blue wire and the retract solenoid uses a green wire on most EQ Systems units. Color coding may vary. 6. Test After Installation: Test both extend and retract operation; verify proper operation in both directions as bi-rotational motors must function correctly in both modes.
If your EQ Systems leveling system is within its 1-year warranty period, you must contact EQ Systems and obtain prior written or verbal authorization before performing any repair or replacing any component. Warranty repairs performed without prior authorization will be denied without exception. Call 800-846-9659 before ordering or installing this part if your system may be under warranty.
