Replacement Power Switch for RAM 3,500 Tongue Jack

Question:

I installed a new 3500 lb Ram electric jack . Push the up switch and it goes down . I then push the down switch and it goes down like it should . No ground issue just a switch that only goes down with either the up or down button.

To replace a switch on your RAM 3,500 lb jack you just need the Replacement Power Switch # EJ-3520-PSW, but this also could be a bad internal screw. To determine if it's the switch or the screw you just need to remove the plug on top of the jack and operate it manually. If the jack goes up and down manually then it's the switch, but if it only goes down then the internal screw is bad.

I will say though that if this truly is a brand new jack then I recommend pursuing a warranty on it. Replacing things right off the bat on a brand new piece of equipment isn't a good sign, even if it's produced by a reputable company like RAM. I would just try to get a complete replacement so you know the whole thing will work correctly.
