Troubleshooting Bulldog Powered Drive Kit that Is Slowly Stopping Working
Published 02/20/2025
Question:
Hello I purchase a bulldog trailer Jack before my trailer. I noticed the past few days. The Jack itself is starting to not work properly. Ill press extend or retract or the memory button a few times and it will do nothing, and sometimes it will work and sometimes it wont. Ive only had this For a few months.

Hey Hoss, looks like you ordered the part # BD1824200100 from us back in December. Hows the battery on your trailer? It have a good charge on it? Is any of the wiring loose? Those are the two biggest culprits of this issue so I'd start there.
Have you tried using the manual jack handle to raise and lower the jacks? Do they seem any more difficult than usual? That will let us know for sure if the problem is electrical or mechanical.

Hello, yes battery is full. All wires are good. I did test the jack today it seemed to work fine. The only thing I can think of, it's been really cold here the past week 5 degrees. I think the jack doesn't work well in the cold. The control board buttons were acting up hence the motor wasn't working right the other day. I'll co tines to test again tomorrow. If problem is present, I was sent a warranty claim email to send back for a replacement
