Jack stuck up

Mt 2019 flagstaff 22' the electric jack stuck in the up position . The motor runs but the jack only rotates in circles and won't come down. Anyone know the fix?

    I did finally fix my jack. After taking it apart I found a video on you tube that showed me how the internal screw shaft looked like after this fellow had a similar problem. My shaft was jammed at the top of the shaft causing it to rotate in either direction without the screw drive moving up or down. I broke it apart w/a breaker bar and a 7/16 socket. I painted a mark on the screw shaft so I will not raise the jack up to its end point again which Caused it to lock up..I now know how the electric tongue jacks operate..


    Thank you for posting how you fixed the problem.

    A link to the You Tube Video would be great for us too.

    Shear pin most likely. You will have to take it off and take it apart. While its apart clean it and grease it up.


    Where is the shear pin located. I took it apart and didn't see the pin. Where can I get a diagram
    of the internal part w/shear pin? Thx Marv

    Is it a manual jack or a power jack?


    It's an electric jack like the OP said, but that's just to give the jack operator some shocking incentive to crank harder.

    LOL

  • Keep the jack post from spinning and it will go up or down.
