Expert Reply:
What happens if you use the manual crank handle of the jack? Can you get the jack to move? Or is it still locked up? Either way it's probably time to replace the jack, but if you can turn the crank with the handle the issue is most likely the motor but if not it's most likely a damaged screw. If the manual crank works, you might also check the power to the jack.
Neither part is available as a replacement part. If you need a new jack I would recommend the Lippert # LC285318 powered tongue jack rated for 3500 pounds of lift.
