Lippert Electric Rear Sabilizer Jack
The Lippert electric rear stabilizer jack on my Jayco 2011 fifth wheel has quit working properly. Here's the symptoms:
1) Jack works normally when lowering.
2) Jack makes a grinding/ratcheting sound when attempting to raise it and will not raise at all using the electric motor.
3) Jack lowers and raises easily using the manual crank.
I think the gears in the motor head are damaged. Could it be anything else? But why would the gears work normally in one direction, but not the other?
