Help: Front Jacks Not Working

MonsterRide

Member
I have the 2012 Cyclone 3110 and my front jacks aren't working. I had this problem last week and thought it was resolved by replacing my batteries. It was temporarily resolved but I now have the same problem:

My slide-outs and the rest of the hydraulic systems seem to be working fine. When I press the retract/extend switch I hear a clicking noise. What I've done so far is replace my batteries (as mentioned above), replaced the 6-terminal switch exactly the way the previous one was connected, and I replaced the 50-amp circuit breaker connected to the hydraulic system. I have a quart of available, but I don't want to add any because my jacks are extended.

I've taken some photos for reference.

Before the next costly alternative, what can I do?

BTW porthole, you were right. The switch is a 6- terminal not a four. I thought was a 4 because that's how many wires were going into the wrapping.

Make sure you check power to the motor solenoid. That is a pure sign of a power issue. Loose connectors can do the same thing

First check all of your ground connections. Then check Voltage at the hot side of the solenoid. If you have 12V there, then push the switch and see if you have 12V volts at the trigger post of the solenoid (the small wire) If you do then you should have 12V going to the motor. If you don't then trace the small wire back to find where your power is lost.
I know you said the slides work so I'm leaning towards a bad ground, or the wire from the switch to the solenoid. My rig's in the paint shop so I cant go out to look at it and walk you thought it. Its new and I haven't looked at that system much yet.

You probably have a chassis ground, most of those pumps ground to the chassis through the pump/motor housing. Running a dedicated ground from the pump/motor housing to your negative buss bar near your battery might relieve your problem. Bad ground are responsible for most DC electrical problems and chassis ground are notorious for failure. Paint and corrosion are often the problem.

Thanks everyone. I called a guy who is going to come out and help me tomorrow. Hopefully it will be a simple fix.
