Rear stabilizer jacks

Our rear stabilizer jacks have stopped working. I can only get them up & down by hand cranking.
I cannot find a blown fuse that would be the problem. Is the motor run by 12 volt or 120 ??
Any suggestion as to what might be the problem ?

The motor is run by 12 volt. Check to see if you have power going to and coming out of your switch and that you have power at the motor.

I had to replace motor the first year I had camper. It was still under warranty but I got them to send me motor and I replaced. The motor is directly behind wheels so water from wheels is directed right at motor. I sealed motor with silicone at all joints and it has held up since.

You don't say what year or model that you own. On my '09 3605, the physical switches for the slides, landing gear, and stabilizers quit working, and I have to use the remote fob to operate all of those. If you have a remote, try that.

On my rig it is the main remote control box that has failed, and I have opted to not replace it for now and just use the remote fob.

This is well known problem with the remote control systems. Most times the fix is quick and easy. For an explanation of the problem and the solution many of us have implemented click here

I have had the same issue on all 3 of the campers I have owned. I solved it by removing the motors and putting them in file 86. I made a tool that goes in a battery drill to move them now. It is way faster then the motor anyways and you can apply more lift/tightness.

There may be an in-line fuse somewhere coming directly off the battery.

Yes, I tried the ground wire re-route fix when the problem first arose, ...with no joy to be had.
