We don't carry the Trailer Lift TL4500 jack that you have but it sounds like the motor is going bad and wanting to draw too much amperage or you have a weak trailer battery powering it. It can also be a weak ground for the jack wiring as well so you'd want to check there too to be sure.
If you were thinking about replacing the jack the Stromberg Carlson # JET-5000 would be a fantastic option. This is a very reliable jack that we recommend highly.
