I bought this jack and just now tried to mount it and get it working. I have power to it but it does nothing. No light or no movement on the jack.

While I was researching electric jacks I saw this mentioned several times. I just ran a ground wire directly to the battery. No problems.

the only wire from the jack goes to positive bolt on your battery. the jack grounds itself to your trailer. make real sure you have all the paint off your trailer where one of the bolts mounts to the trailer. it really needs to be very clear of paint and tighten it down good. Hope that works for you.

Sorry to hear that!.. I thought it was very easy to install and my battery was fully charged and it worked fine. Make sure it's hooked to the battery correctly and the battery is charged. If not it might be defective :(

Mounting bolts must be grounded good. Clean around bolt holes good to bare metal and reinstall. Good luck

I bought the black jack and it did not work even with power applied to the fuse correctly and grounded directly to battery. sent it back !!

The wire from the motor must be connected to the positive side of the battery. Also the mounting bots must make a good ground. The paint should be cleaned off where the bolts touch and the washers need to be between the bolt head and the unpainted surface.

I had similar issues myself. I just messed with the cord a whole and it started back working. This was a waste of my money.

Make sure the socket has power and that the cord is properly plugged in, try a another one if you have one, the size is pretty generic. But yes, either the unit is dead or it isn't getting power. In the off chance the bulbs have gone out you can see if it's charged by using the power meter.

You would need to make an AC adapter, there is no AC or DC jack on the light anywhere as it is sold, but it should be pretty easy to either make an adapter to go to a DX power pack or to open up the light and solder in your own jack

I couldn't get it to work either....the thing has been sitting in a drawer since the day after I got it and will probably be there permanently....I found it to be totally useless.

I did the same and nothing happened. So I unplugged it and searched on the back of my tower and found a light green speaker plug, which happens to be the same color as speaker plug. they work fine, great sound.:)

I had same problem. I found that moving the plug slightly up, down or left, right, it would start working momentarily. The connector is probably not fastened well to the circuit board. I returned mine and bought a different type. (thanks Amazon). This one works great and sounds better.

Did you plug the unit in? Mine works fine. Perhaps you should contact the a Seller for a new one.

I think I may have a similar issue. I connected my TV, and I have no picture, no sound, or anything at all. The right light on the button right comes on and off when I hit the power button, but that's it. Can't get the menu or anything to work.

Well it may just be me, but I couldn't get it to work at all. I plugged it in and nothing. I will open up a support call at some point and try to figure it out. Answer here...

Yes, I am having problems. It was working fine but today I unplugged it and plugged it in another place and it doesn't work. Went back tot the original plug and it doesn't work anywhere. The Screen shows the word POWER, but there is none. I cannot find a "do this if this" item in the manual so I have no choice but to return it. I liked the previous Sangeans (PR-D5) I bought. This was a up step but I am very disappointed.

I plugged mine in and did get a light, but the drive was never recognized by my computer. I suspect the problem is the disk drive.

Yes- The jack is for output, and the plug is for input. To use the plug you have to switch modes by double-clicking the 'mode' button. The light will turn solid blue. Output and input are standard audio, should work with any device.

I use the socket in the middle console and it works fine. I think you have a defective one.

I have the same problem. The light in front is on and the power button is pushed one way and it still dose not work. I have the same problem and mine has been on charge for several day's and it still does not work, and the button is in the right place.
