Question:

I need to see a picture of where the wires hookup to inside the head of the unit. An easy to read diagram or a good picture so I will know where each connector goes . Thanks so much

Hey Joe,

Lippert unfortunately doesn't have a wiring diagram for the extend/retract switch # LC49MD on their Electric Trailer Jack # LC285318 so I took one apart to see how it was wired and drew up a little diagram for you. for the light switch the prong on the right is your jumper from the extend/retract switch and the bottom prong runs to light switch control board.

Hey Joe, how did things go with the wiring on your Lippert electric trailer jack after using that diagram? Your update could make it easier for the next person trying to sort out the same connections.

@LazerS Thank you so much for the diagram but my neighbor actually already had it repaired by the time I received the diagram from you. Thanks so much hope I wasn’t too much trouble!
