Tongue jack just stopped working

[DE88ROX]

Barker VIP Tongue Jack. Only 2 years old.

Went camping a few weeks ago and it worked just fine. Just went to pick up the trailer today from storage to bring it home for our trip this weekend and nothing. Wont go up or down. The light works just fine.

I popped the cover off and all the switch wires seems to be attached good. Its the strangest thing. had to go old school and use the manual crank.

Thoughts? suggestions?

Im going over to barker website no and see what I can find out.
Barker is located about an hour south of me. I could be like that old lady in the Discount Tire commercail. 🙂

Most likely a bad switch. Very common. They will send you a new one for free or at least they did for me. Also make sure it has a good ground on the base connected to the trailer. The fact the light works most likely it does.

I think there is a 15AMP fuse. Check the wires under the tongue to the battery.

As much as I am sorry it happened to you. I'm glad I read this. My tongue jack did the same thing. Only it is a Ultra Tow. Only 3 years old, and I'm guessing it gets hot, stops. Goes again after it cools a few seconds.
I was going to replace it with a Barker. I will look for another brand now.

Thinking about getting a socket cut to fit the studs on the manual backup crank, and using my 24 Volt drill to run it.
