I ran the jack up and down a few turns using the manual socket and attaching a set of vice grips. I thought about using my cordless drill ... concerned that it may torque and break something internal or the supplied socket.
We’re on the road so no repairs for at least a week.
Anyone replace the switch in past? Do you have to remove the motor?

Dump the Atwood and replace with the Super Power Jack by Barker (H&H Engineering). Airstream used these for years and then substituted them with the cheaper Atwood version. Mine is at least 25-30 years old and still clicking. I took it back to their manufacturing site once to get it tuned & lubed up because it would not work and the issue was that the powerhead had to be re-timed because of the limit switches.

If looking for a replacement, take a look at the Husky.
