Have checked the ground connections several times and unless there's one I don't know about they're all good.

The jacks operate off the same circuit breaker and I'm not having any problems with them. Well, the rears have decided just the last trip or two that they aren't gonna retract all the way.
I did get a heavy set of homemade jumper cables from a friend and used his Dodge 1 ton dually Cummins pickup to jump it and all that did was to heat up the starter motor. We disconnected the MH wire and hooked onto the gennie and used the switch on the gennie to try to start it.
Bummer ????
