Troubleshooting Trailer Stabilizer Jacks Not Working
Question:
Neither the front or rear stabilizing jacks make a sound or work at all. Where should we look first. All fuses appear okay.

Expert Reply:
I recommend using a Test Light # PTW2993 or Multimeter # PT89ZR to verify your battery positive shows power to a good chassis ground point. This will help you verify the ground connection hasn't gone bad and your battery charged. From there you will follow the wire to the Circuit Breakers # LC134181 to ensure they are providing power to the different circuits. Then you will be able to verify if you have power at the Switch # LC387874. If you have power to the jack motors they are likely seized and will need replaced. I would need to know what stabilizer you have to verify if there is a replacement motor available or the whole assembly will need replaced.
Please let me know what you find or where the power is lost if you need additional help.
