Please help... Barker HiPower 3000 jack up/down switch wiring help

[Nozz]

Airstreamers,

We have a 2015 Flying Cloud, with the Barker HD Levelrite HiPower 3000 jack. The up/down switch failed along with a limit switch. Pictures are below.

What I know...
1. I bought new limit switches as well as a brand new up/down switch. They're installed properly
2. The motor works great, both up and down
3. The manual crank works just fine, but I'm tired of doing that.
4. But I've having trouble figuring out what colored wire goes where. This is where I need your help.
5. Wiring diagram doesn't help. I need photo verification from someone's operable and similar jack
6. Fuse is perfect

Please please help, my humble request...
1. Take off your similar Barker HiPower 3000 jack cover
2. Unscrew the up/down switch from the front of the cover (it has 6 prongs for bladed wire connectors)
3. Tell me what color wire goes to what prong, labeled 1-6. Pictures would be awesome!

As you can tell from the below pictures, you can see my dilemma. You can email me or text me or FaceTime me. I'm near Seattle (PST). My info is below. Thanks in advance!

Help me Obi'Airstreamer, you're my only help.

I’ve got one and sent pics to phone. Let’s see if it helps get started.

It’s a spare given to me, not from my rig.

Airstream'ers!

I got it to work (insert happy dance here). Thank you to those who emailed and texted pictures. Beer or your adult libation of choice is on me. I'll upload a better schematic of the correct wiring, but my non-EE method is to use both sharpie on the top of the jack and labeled wires for future reference, as well a pictures and video saved to my computer.

P.S. The original problem was one of the jack only going a single direction. The culprit was a worn out micro limit switch (it wouldn't spring back "out" after being pushed in). I replaced that and the up/down switch assembly (didn't really need to after all) and once correctly wired, solved my problem.

For future reference, here's a good wiring diagram for the issue above

Hey there Nozz. I have the same trailer and jack and I think the same initial problem you had. The switch sometimes works but more often takes a couple of tries to get the motor to start. When I last brought the trailer home it would only work in one direction but not the other and I had to use the manual crank (after I located a 12" socket extension so the crank would clear the 30 lb propane housing). My question is, how did you diagnose what was wrong? Can you bypass the main switch and micro switches to connect the up or down circuit manually to see what's shot?

Gary, email sent, but here's a better picture of the "limit switch tab" that failed. It didn't pop back out when pressed in. Hence the failure...
