Tainium's first post by Cody 09/11/2010
Hi Everyone, I am just learning the internet scene, but i have been involved with towing and trailers my whole life. Here on the blog page of Tainium.com i hope that you will all submit questions and answers to others questions and we can create many new topics here. Right now i am up camping with the in-laws in Coalville, Utah. We are at a campsite known as Camper-world. They have campgrounds all over the U.S. But everyone that i have gone to has had the pools under construction... i don't get it... oh well. I would like to talk a little about the 4000 LB Electric Tongue Jack. We have been having a couple issues with the fuse on the jack. It is very touchy when the battery on your trailer gets low, therefore it blows. This is very frustrating and i apologize for the inconvenience. The best way i have found to eliminate this problem is simply cut the fuse off and hard wire it. The jack still has a circuit breaker in the head that will switch off if it senses a problem, but will come back on after it has cooled down. We have a utility trailer where the battery is hardwired to the jack, and the jack only. There for it never gets a charge. In the 2 months that we have had it on there the battery has not died yet and we have had no issues with the jack. It works perfect. (PS. this was a jack that we got back on warranty that the person claimed it did not work properly.) If anybody else has any ideas please post them here. Thanks & Happy Posting!

The fuse blows the instant the jack reaches the lowest and highest positions. The jack came with a Buss 250 volt, MDA-30 amp ceramic fuse. Is this the correct fuse? I am unable to find replacement fuses. A friend of mine has a different brand electric tongue jack which utilizes a MDL 30 amp fuse. Because this jack is connected to a travel trailer, I am reluctant to bypass the fuse. I will appreciate any suggestions. Leave a Reply |
