Troubleshooting Bulldog Jack that The Switch Has to Be Pressed a Few Times Before it will Activate
Question:
Hi have a Bulldog 4,000 lb electric jack that seems to have an intermittent switch, motor or ground? When retracting or extending sometimes the switch is dead and needs to be rocked back and forth before engaging the jack. Could this really be the motor? Once it is engaged the motor seems to extend or retract just fine. Can I buy a replacement switche?

It sounds like you may have an intermittent ground issue. Since the part # BD500200 grounds through the mounting hardware you will want to make sure the metal it attaches to is clean and free of corrosion.
You also want to make sure the main ground wire from the trailer connector is connected to a clean metal surface.
It might not hurt to check the power wire connection as well. Make sure it is making a solid connection.
The switches for this jack aren't offered as a replacement part.
