Hi all I have 2010 28ft cougar 5th wheelMy landing gear pops fuses Batteries fine but I believe this motor model1a065012-02-01is something the original owner had swapped From what I can tell its 5000lb lift. The 30 amp fuses will pop after 5 seconds maybe quicker. I am hopeful someone can help me.

Will it move by the hand crank ok? If not and is jammed the motor fuse could blow.Is there a wiring short like a cut in the wire's insulation touching?Is the up/down switch shorting in the back of it with all the wire contacts there?, Had that with the in/out switch for the slide in the 5er we had. Same kind of switch ISTR. New switch fixed that.

Oh it moves with hand crank thats fine

No wiring issues we checked all wiring Someone suggested this motor is simply to small for the trailer

See about the up/down switch above.What brand of front jacks? You can look up the part # for the motor and see if yours is an equal replacement. Eg, Amazon sells parts like that and the ad will say if it goes with that model of jacks.

It's good landing gear is hand cranked, so could be:Wiring or switch issue, if not, motor is worn, and drawing to many amps.Doubtful motor is "to small for trailer", as that would have caused problems for the original owner.

The rocker switch could be bad. it has contacts that wear out and you then need a new switch. Doesn't mean it blows fuses, but it might. ? It can just not work right.

If anything like the in/out switch wiring for the slide, it is complicated wiring and you need to put the right colours in place with the new switch. Best to take a photo first or make a drawing.

That is the model number for a Stromberg Carson Landing Gear Motor rated at 5500#
It is/can be used on Atwood, Venture, Lippert landing gear systems
