Good afternoon,
Last week my jacks only went half down, and it was a struggle to get them back up.
I followed advice from this forum and determined that since the solenoid was clicking and I had power at the motor, that the motor was shot.
So, I ordered a new motor from Western motors.
After installation, the motor made a noise then nothing.
I tried lowering the jacks again and the motor made noise. I shut the panel off and cut the engine and the motor still made a bunch of noise.
I tried it again and nothing.
I crawled under the RV and the 100 AMP fuse was blown so I reset it.
I turned that monitor back on and hit auto and the white light in the middle of the monitor blinked for a few seconds then the whole display shut off. No motor noise.
With the engine off and jacks panel not on, I went to remove the power cables to the new motor.
I got the shock of my life. I did not think I would be able to get away from the RV. I was lying flat on the ground. I got the shock first by loosening the negative. I also got one with the negative disconnected while loosening the positive.
Anyway, I decided to test the old motor by jumping it.
The old motor did spin but made a bunch of noise.
Any idea what is going on?
Rick
