Rear Stabilizer jack motor power

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Getting ready for our first trip out and the rear stabilizer jack motor does not work - will have to use the hand crank until I get time to take it to an RV dealer.  I may make and adapter so I can use my cordless drill.
I have power to the motor and the switch checks good.  I wiggled the wire to the motor and it started to move then stopped.   Re-checked power to the motor and still power (checking at the connector to the switch).  The wiring diagram from Lippert shows a 6A auto reset breaker and a 20 amp fuse.
So my question is where is the breaker and fuse?

I purchased the trailer last November  and this will be our second time out - all worked well last fall.  All of the other items in the trailer are working fine.

	If you have power to the motor then the switch and fuse are OK. Had the same problem on our 2011 Cruiser 335, just a defective motor. Thought about the electric drill, but cranking the stabilizers with the hand crank was not bad at all, much faster and easier than I thought it would be. Dealer replaced the motor and switch under warranty.

	Had a similar problem with my rear power jack. It would kick out the reset breaker frequently. Took it in to the local dealer, they checked everything out, and ended up just cleaning the screw and putting some type of dry lube on it. It has worked fine ever since. Just something else to check.

	Probably just stuck, grab the hand crank and give it a turn or two. Mine does that every so often if it sits up too long. Especially when it's run up against the stop.
