Electric Rear Jacks

[Kenneth_1]

I have a North Trail 32 RLTS and the rear jacks will no go down. On the front of the camper on the outside have about 8 fuses and does anyone know which of the fuses that works with the jacks and how to test them if they are bad.

It may not be the fuse--many, including mine, had water infiltration because of where the power enters the motor. Rusts up (which can be cleaned up) and the springs for the brushes stop working. Some have replaced them with springs from old ball point pens. Took mine apart but can't get to the springs--will have to go to a small motor repair place. Still a lot cheaper than $300 for a new motor from Lippert.

First you need to remove the motor assembly from the stabilizer. To get at the springs, you need to remove the two long screws at the rear of the housing and remove it. Putting it together again was a little tricky since they have to be inserted close to the armature magnets to get to the opposite end. I know. I think I originated the ball pen spring repair.

Thanks for your answers will take the motor off and do the fix with spring from pens.
