Landing gear problems

Hi all I have 2010 28ft cougar 5th wheel
My 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.
