Thanks for reading my post and hopefully i can get some help.

I have an electric system for raising and lowering the jack on my horse trailer. Also have it set up for manually. Problem is it won't work all of the time, one minute it will be fine then nothing. I have the trailer pluged into electric outlet right now thinking the battery was low. Still same problem. There is a reset button above the raise/lower switch, the reset is not tripped. Trailer batteries are charged fine, no blown fuse, all of the wiring looks great. I don't raise and lower it when hooked up to the truck, someone told me it takes to much out of the batteries.

Everything in the LQ are working fine-microwave-pump-fridge-air-etc.

Having to use it manually in this 105 degree heat is a killer. LOL

Thanks for ANY help.

Sounds like your jack's electric connections aren't secure.  Start with the easy to get to connections, take them off, clean then, coat with electrical grease (Like Noalox) replace.

LQ appliances like micro, a/c aren't part of the jack system.

Thanks guys, i have alot of respect for electric, and while iam sure you are correct, and i would never use this excuse, but iam a blonde woman. Is this fairly easy to do, for a blonde woman??

Should i unplug from the outlet i have the trailer pluged into, could i get a shock??

Miss Okie.

The plug powers the converter/battery charger.  So yes, you should unplug the trailer before getting into the circuit connections.  

Your jack runs on the 12 volts of the LQ battery.    The danger is not a shock but a burn if you touch wires together or to the frame. 

Let's do some intelligent hunting first...

Is there any noise at all when you switch the jack on (And it doesn't work)  Like a click or hum ...

Hosspuller, thanks for your help. The trailer is plugged into an electric outlet, went out and tried it again this morning, nothing. There is no noise at all, no hum or acting like it wants to work.

Last night i tried it before turning in, it worked for 1 second, then nothing.

Okay.. Unplug the trailer, As bhill suggested check the battery connections.  Remove the negative cable first.  clean it then do the positive.  Replace in reverse order.  The order is important. If you accidently touch a tool between the red(positive) connection you will create a short circuit and a big spark!

If this doesn't solve the problem... more work is needed.  Wiggle each connection as you try the control.  If it starts to work as you're wiggling a connection you've found the trouble.   

Thankyou very much, will try this when it cools down early evening. Way to hot outside for me at 100 degrees right now.

Will let you know if this works.

I appreciate all of the input.
