Big Country - Front landing blowing fuses

[Djconaway]

I'm blowing the in line fuse when trying raise my unit. It sounds like it's really straining to lift the unit. I've checked the batteries they have a full charge on them. I have not added anything new to the basement causing extra weight. 2011 big country 3250ts

Electric or Hydraulic?

If "straining" means the motor is noisy, you might have a mechanical bind. You probably have a crank to operate the landing gear manually. If the crank doesn't turn relatively easily, that would probably confirm a mechanical problem.

From an electrical standpoint, even if the battery has a good charge, you should inspect wiring for dirty/corroded/loose connections, including the ground connections.

At the top of the landing gear legs, there is cap. Pry that cap off and pour a little oil in there.
Normally the gears in there are greased but the oil should help short term.

When your landing gear are at 2/3 thirds do they stop moving? And check what Dan said too.
