Improving Ground for Allowing Ultra Fab 3502 Jack to Function

Question:

I plug it in, light and motor dont work. I hook up 12 volt directly to jack 7 pin on plus and minus it works. I plug in the trailer 7 pin to check power of plug, all trailer lights, signals, brakes work as normal. I disassembled, cleaned area around bolt holes and bottom plate of jack, re install, turn on vehicle, still doesnt work. Any help would be appreciated

Sounds like maybe the ground of the trailer is not adequate. Since the jack # UF38-944017 grounds through the mounting hardware the trailer needs to have a solid ground. You can try running a jumper wire from the mounting assembly of the jack to the main ground of trailer harness and that should fix the problem.
