Question:
Lights come back on on their own long after I turn them off. Switch back on they get brighter. Turn off they go off but repeat and come back on.... what is my issue??

Expert Reply:
It sounds like there is corrosion building up on the contacts of the lights switch on your Lippert Electric Trailer Jack # LC285318 allowing power to bypass the switch even when it is turned off.
I recommend removing the top cover by removing the phillips head screws and checking for any corrosion on the switch. If there is corrosion clean it up with a scotch brite and re install the cover.
If the issue is still there then I recommend replacing the switch. Lippert no longer sells the on/off switch by itself so you will need the # LC285160 which includes a new top cover and two new switches.
I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
