If you are referring to the Lippert Electric Trailer Jack with Footplate part # LC285318 then you are going to want to use the Replacement Extend / Retract Switch Assembly part # LC226023. In order to replace the switch you will need to obtain a pick tool or very small flathead screwdriver and beging to pry the top or bottom of the switch out of the housing. Once this is done you can then remove the spade terminals and install them on the new switch. In order to install the new switch you just simply press it into place.
