Husky Brute Electric Trailer Jack Will Not Extend/Retract But Light Works
Question:
My tongue jack will not work. Lights on the jack work but the jack will not. Wiring is solid as are connections. I have 12volts going to the switch nothing going out. Are replacement switches or relay blocks available?

If you have power entering the extend/retract switch on the Husky Brute Trailer Jack, but not leaving then the switch is bad and will need to be replaced. It would also be worthwhile to re-ground the jack on the frame but again I believe the switch is your issue. If power passes through the swith then you are looking at a motor problem, or perhaps the foot is stuck due to over extension. As the motor and gears are not replaceable you may need a new jack.
I think the best value for an A-frame tongue jack is the Stromberg Carlson # SC63VR which is rated for 4500 pounds of tongue weight. This is 1000 pounds more than other models, and even though you may not need this much capacity, you will find that the jack motor runs quick and effortlessly. This will add years to its life. This jack also has a unique clutch that prevents damage from overextending or retracting the jack foot - the most common reason for jack failure. I also like that is has a generous 23" lift, including a time-saving drop-foot. It includes LED lights for operating the hitch in the dark, and a built-in bullseye leveling bubble.
