Electric jack for 5 wheel goes up and not down

The jack stands that raises the front of the trailer up and down just goes up and not down. Worked fine in the morning next camp site won't go down. Checked the switch and it seems ok. Only 2 wires go...

I think up/down is like in/out with the slide. The motor two wires change pos and neg to turn the other way as set by the switch contacts.

I had that with the slide switch. New switch fixed that.
