Troubleshooting Wiring of Buyers Products Electric Jack

Question

Question:

I am writing concerning an electric jack # 3370093500 which I purchased last year. It worked fine all last year. This year, I went down to get our trailer from storage, and it worked fine. Got it home, no power. It is the model that plugs into the 7 pin. Truck 7 pin works fine for the trailer. Manually cranked it up and down for our trip not happy. Got home, and put the old original jack back on. Havent had much time to fool with it, wondered if you had any suggestions.

The Buyers Products 12-Volt Electric Jack - 22-1/2" Travel - 3,500 lbs # 3370093500 has a 20 amp circuit breaker and motor switch between the trailer wiring connection and the motor. I recommend checking the circuit breaker and then the switch for continuity using a circuit tester like # PTW2992.

I've attached a schematic of your wiring to assist.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Answer 6

Hi Robert, So there isn't one that can be used with a cordless drill (which would be an electric jack only) as all the electric A-frame jacks are all higher than the 12" to 14" you want. There is a manual crank jack you can use which I…

Answer 7

It sounds like you're saying it is hooked up to power but it doesn't have the ability to raise the trailer. This could be the batteries or a problem with the wiring. It is probably getting power, it just may not be enough to lift the trailer.…

Answer 10

For your application there really is only going to be a weld on solution that's reasonable like the part #UF48-979022 that you referenced. The frame dimensions are unknown so a weld solution would be better since that really doesn't matter.…

Answer 11

Yes, you can use a dolly like the #RA20 with a smaller hitch ball to move around a trailer that has a larger hitch ball. The trailer's tongue weight will keep the trailer on the ball and it will be totally fine and safe.

The Westlake ST205/75R15 Radial Tire w 15" Lynx Aluminum Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - LR D - Silver #LHAW320 does not come balanced as, typically, trailer tires don't need to be balanced like standard passenger vehicle tires. Doing so may not…
