Sounds like your Stromberg Carlson Electric Jack # JET-5000 has power, but does it have a ground to complete the circuit? This jack grounds through the mounting hardware so it would need to be mounted to a trailer that has a solid ground through the frame. The trailer wiring harness of the trailer should have a wire that runs to the trailers frame. This is the ground circuit and it will need to be active for the jack to operate.
Check out the install video I attached for more info as well.
