Troubleshooting Powered A-Frame Jack Not Powering Up or Down with Flickering Light
Question:
I have had the camper plunged into the house for months. The tongue jacked worked just fine a couple of weeks ago. But know the tongue jack will not go up or down. The light does turn on, but flickers. When I hit the switch to make it go up or down it doesnt make any noise. The online fuse is good and not blown. What could make it not work.

Expert Reply:
Sounds like a weak battery powering the jack, or the wiring of the jack isn't solid enough and you have an intermittent connection.
So check to make sure the battery of the trailer has a solid charge, and then next check the wiring connections of the jack noting that it grounds through the mounting hardware so it needs the mount needs to be clean between it and the trailer frame.
