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.
