    Tongue jack switch access, Lippert.

    My RET function ceased working. EXT still good.

    Took apart the jack cover to get to the switch and discovered the contacts either had an ohm reading of 68.9KOhms (EXT) or infinity (RET)

    Same issue here discovered today on our 23BHE. Could you tell me where you bought the switch?
    Thanks - Mike

    McMaster Carr. When I opened the switch it was full of water. Contacts were corroded and there was plenty of arcing.

    I did some modifying of the base for the switch to fit into. It is not plug and play.

    Lippert has the replacement switch. But I don’t want another failure or a blown fuse.

    Good luck.
