Expert Reply:
If the lights on your Husky Brute Electric Trailer Jack are working but the jack is not responding - meaning no power whatsoever is reaching your motor - then I would remove and test if the switch is broken. If you have good strong power and the switch is passing power then you should check the ground. The Husky jacks ground through the connection to the A-frame. Clean and sand that area and try again. If these steps fail then you may have a bad motor or the gears are stuck/damaged from over extention. Either way, you are going to need a replacement jack.
I think the best value for an A-frame tongue jack is the Stromberg Carlson # SC63VR which is rated for 4500 pounds of tongue weight. This is 1000 pounds more than other models, and even though you may not need this much capacity, you will find that the jack motor runs quick and effortlessly. This will add years to its life. This jack also has a unique clutch that prevents damage from overextending or retracting the jack foot - the most common reason for jack failure. I also like that is has a generous 23" lift, including a time-saving drop-foot. It includes LED lights for operating the hitch in the dark, and a built-in bullseye leveling bubble.
