You should have a handle to use in this case. If so, you can check to see if it is locked up. That also might get it back to working once you turn it a few times.

Do you have a multimeter? If so you could use it to try to find the short. It could also be the jack is locked up and the motor is drawing too much current trying to turn it. You could try freeing up the jack using some penetrating oil and see if that works. Otherwise you will probably need a new jack.

If the fuse blows when you hit the switch there is a short. Just off the top of my head I would probably replace the electric tongue jack.

I went to un-hitch the other day and my electric jack wouldn’t work. I realized that the in-line fuse was blown, so I replaced and as soon as I press up or down, the fuse blows. I don’t see any shorts or grounding issues.. any suggestions?
Thanks, Noah |
