landing gear suddenly doing nothing...

Took my 5th wheel back to storage lot yesterday and everything seemed to be fine. Let down the landing gear and rear stabilizers, chocked the wheels, the unhitched just fine. But when I went back to the trailer to lower the landing gear a bit more, nothing..

Extend, raise, nothing. Not a sound or movement. The switch is up front of course and not really sure what to check as this is my first problem encountered.

Trying to find something online resulted in NADA.

Anyone point me in the right (or some) direction?

  • Follow wiring from landing gear Motor back to battery......there will be an in-line 30A fuse OR a DC circuit breaker....blown or tripped

    Landing gear is wired directly to battery......(does not go thru converter DC Dist)

    Low/weak battery voltage-higher amp draw on DC motors
