Electric jack trouble

[TomAndKrista]

Came to hook up our trailer tonight and the jack will go down but not up. Checked the fuse and that seems ok. We had to plug into our truck before we could use the jack. Thanks for taking the time to answer.

If it is like mine, the direction of travel is by switching the battery connections inside the jack head. There is a double pole switch that does this. There may be two limit switches that keep the jack from going to far in either direction. If those are present it could be that the up limit has a problem. I guess if your battery voltage was really low then going up may not be possible.

Good luck

If hooking up to your tow vehicle solved the "up" issue than you probably have a weak battery in the trailer. Strong enough to lower the jack but not enough oomph to raise it. Check your battery.

It ended up being a faulty toggle switch.

To tag along this post, I'm having an issue too.

Jack raised last night to take off the anti sway bars. Got the bars off and went to lower the jack and it had no power. The light on the jack head didn't work either.

Had the power cord hooked up to the truck, didn't make a difference. Had plenty of battery power- all of the lighting in and on the trailer worked without trailer being hooked up to the truck.

Hand cranking that son of a gun is a pain in the butt but I don't want to have to. What would y'all guess- fuse? I'm hoping that's it and think it may be since the light doesn't work either. Where is the fuse located, also...

Sorry to ask the dumb questions but we're rookies and we're on the road.

Thanks in advance,

My fuse is located on the power line just under the under and behind the ball. Just trace the wire back till you locate it. Your jack could be different and could be located under the cover. Usually only a few screws to loosen the cover and have a look. Most likely you have a fuse problem. Good luck.
