Troubleshooting Husky Brute Jack with Power To it that Isnt Raising or Lowering
Question:
So the electric part of the jack quit working. There is power to it. The lights work. The jack worked flawlessly last week. Today. Nothing, any ideas?

This could be as simple as a blown fuse. Check to see if you have 12 volt power at the jack. Also check grounding. Husky jacks are grounded where the jack meets the frame - ensure this area is clean. If you have power, test the up/down button to see that it is passing power. If it is bad you will have to source it at an electronics store. If it is passing power to the motor, it could be a bad motor. It could also be damaged gears. There are not any replacement parts for the Husky jacks. I can recommend a new jack if you need it.
I think the best value for an A-frame tongue jack is the Stromberg Carlson # SC63VR which is rated for 4500 pounds of tongue weight. This is 1000 pounds more than other models, and even though you may not need this much capacity, you will find that the jack motor runs quick and effortlessly. This will add years to its life. This jack also has a unique clutch that prevents damage from overextending or retracting the jack foot - the most common reason for jack failure. I also like that is has a generous 23" lift, including a time-saving drop-foot. It includes LED lights for operating the hitch in the dark, and a built-in bullseye leveling bubble.
