If the wiring for your Lippert Electric Trailer Jack # LC285318 is in good condition, I next recommend making sure you have a good ground connection. This particular jack grounds through its mounting hardware, so you will want to make sure that there isn't any corrosion built up around the hardware or mounting location. If so, simply remove the jack and clean everything out and then reinstall it.

A weak ground connection will typically allow for a bit of power to come through, such as the amount needed to power the lights like what you mentioned, but not enough to actually power and operate the motor.

If the ground looks fine, also check the fuse for the jack, as it could have been blown. The fuse is located in its power wire.

If you are still having trouble, please let me know and we can continue to troubleshoot.
