Question:

It seems both my front and rear lippert stabilizer jacks stopping working simultaneously. My battery seems fine and using shore power didn’t help. I even disconnected and reconnected several wire connections, both on the house battery and the wires direct to the jacks and the two small circuit breakers. No luck. I was able to manually raise and lower them with the tool. I do have the BMPro unit and the wireless remote control that operates the jacks. I don’t like that as it sometimes does not work well. I’d rather change to a toggle switch at each location but I’ll consider that after I get the things working again. I think my options are: 1. Replace the two 6a circuit breakers, 2. If #1 doesn’t work, maybe it’s the wireless remote and I should go to the toggle switches?

It is possible it's the breaker that's bad and you'd need the replacement part # LC134181 but you can test this actually pretty easily. Bypass the breaker by running the wires on each post of it to each other and if it goes back to working it's the breaker. Based on what you described I would assume this is the problem. You could also test the breakers with a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 which has a probe needle. Test for voltage one the wiring on both sides of the breaker. If it's only on one wire the breaker is the problem.
