Jack solenoids

Does anyone know how to check the jack solenoids to see if they are faulty? I have been told to check solenoid for my front jack as it will not retract without pressure on it but I don't know how to do this. I have a 2005 HR Ambassador. Thanks

    If it will retract by prying it up with pressure, then it is NOT a solenoid problem. You need to run the jack down and then clean and oil the cylinder. You may have to do this more than once. The jack is raised by the springs only, once the solenoids are energized. If the solenoids were not working, you couldn't pry them up.
