Troubleshooting Electric A-Frame Jack That Wont Move but Clicks
Question:

asked by: Joe C
Expert Reply:
If you are hearing a clicking noise when trying to extend or retract your hydraulic jacks, check to ensure your battery is fully charged because without the proper voltage the jack may just be unable to raise or lower, which is likely going to be the case.
Should that not be the issue then it is possible the jack may have been overextended or retracted and mechanical components such as the nut and screw have been damaged. If this is the case then the only thing you can do is replace your system.
