5th wheel leveling jacks

There seem to be some electrical devices on my 5th wheel that work only on battery and some that work of battery and AC. I recently discovered that my leveling jacks don't operate even though my battery is successfully operating the slide-outs. Plugging into AC power did not change that. The jacks worked fine the last time I hooked up so what am I missing?
  • The way it is wired. You need to start tracing the 12 volt side and fix it the way you want it
  • There is a inline fuse in the wiring to the jacks, you should find that and check it.
  • If you are talking about the stabilizer jacks like in the rear, maybe they sat and got all corroded up. I happen to know a guy that let his do that. :S

    My stabilizer jacks have self resetting circuit breakers so you should hear some kind of click when you push the switch to go.

    Once I got mine freed up and oiled they were happy.
