Troubleshooting the 5,500 lbs. Ultra-Fab Phoenix Electric Tongue Jack That Won't Retract
Updated 03/30/2022 | Published 03/29/2022 >
Question:
My Ultra Fab Phoenix 5500 will extend but not retract. Green Light illuminates, so it doesnt seem to be the switch that is an issue.

Expert Reply:
If you can use the emergency override that allows for manual operation of your Ultra-Fab Phoenix Electric Trailer Jack, # UF38-944055, then that minimizes the mechanical failure possibilities and isolates the issue to electrical components. I suggest you ensure there is a full charge on your battery as low voltage will have an effect on operation. If you have a full charge I suggest you focus on the electrical connections and the switch.
If you cannot retract using the manual operation, you have something binding or a broken and may need to replace depending on the exact component.
