Rear stabilizer motor only works in retracting.
I tried to extend the rear elec. jacks and the motor did not even make a sound. But, when I pushed the switch the other way the motor tightened the jacks closer to the frame. Any Ideas?

- Switch maybe... Pull switch and reverse the load wires and see if extend works but now retract doesn't.
- Mine did that at the beginning of the summer. I cycled the switch b oth ways several times and it started working fine and has since. Not sure if it was the switch of the motor. Good luck.
- it's the switch. DC motor and you reverse the polarity. may be just dirty contacts and by working them may clean up a bit
- May be a simple fix, one of the wires came loose off the switch, or switch is bad.

Thanks Aruba.
I actually posted this problem after I fixed it. I wanted to see what others would come up with for the fix and it WAS just dirty, corroded contacts on the switch. After I cleaned them up with a wire brush and covered them with electrical tape it worked just like new.
The wet, dirty mud had been splashed on them. There was nothing preventing them from getting sprayed from wet tires.
