First things first I would remove the top cover of your Lippert Electric Trailer Jack with Footplate - A-Frame - 18" Lift - 3,500 lbs - Black # LC285318 by removing 4 screws and verifying that when the tailgate hit the jack it did not loosen the connections to the switches and light.

While the cover is off go ahead and check for any damaged components or loose wiring that needs to be reattached. I would closely examine the on/off switch and its wiring as that would explain why you have no functions at all.

If you find you have some broken components we offer the following replacement parts:

Replacement LED Light Module # LC226027
Replacement Top Cover W/ Switches # LC285160

I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
