The Bulldog Jack # BD500199 that you referenced grounds through the mounting hardware so your best option would be to run a jumper wire from the mounting flange of the jack to the ground wire on your trailer wiring to see if that gets it to work. It has an internal circuit breaker that automatically resets so only other possible problem is an internal problem. For that you'd want to return it to where you bought it from.
