Front landing gear problem

Hi all, We were lifting the front of the camper when the motor stopped. I have checked all the fuses and all are good. I replaced the motor and still no luck. I have replaced the 40 amp fuse in the front compartment, I have also by passed the two other relays/fuses that is connected to the battery ground. i can only use the remote due to the remote module is stuck in the remote mode ( that"s next on the repair list ) I can hear the module clicking when trying to raise or lower the landing gear. All other functions work with the remote, rear landing gear and slide outs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Chris

I'd start by trying to raise or lower the legs manually using the crank handle. See if there is any resistance. That will eliminate a jammed leg or gear assembly. If you can move the leg using the crank I'd try taking a 12v feed directly to the motor leads. That should get you past all the controls, fuses, and switches.
