    Is it the switch? These switches are know for breaking very easily. Try popping the switch out and reverse the wires and try it again. If it works then the switch is bad. An easy replacement. Don't give up hope.

    I had this problem and it was an easy fix for me. Not parts needed.

    The wires from the switch go to a junction on the frame. The nuts at the junction were loose. I tightened them and it worked again.

    Try wiggling the wires at the junction and you can tell. Be careful tightening, or disconnect power because if you touch ground when doing this you can make smoke!

    Both of my rocker switches are bad too. If I work the rocker a few times with wd-40 it does start working, so far anyway. I need to replace both of them soon as I figure out where to get them.

    On my Reflection 303RLS near the rear stabilizer motor on the frame if I remember correctly. It was an isolated terminal with 2 studs and red in color and I think it had a rubber cover over it. It had a fairly larger red wire going to it that would be the power for the motor. The red wire may be connected to one of the auto resetting breakers just above the battery box up front that are under a black plastic cover (just a guess).

    When it happened to me I had been camping a few days and was ready to leave, went to lift rear stabilizer and nothing. Wiggled the wires at the junction and it started working. I think one of the nuts vibrated loose during travel. Tightened the nuts up once I had tools out and no problems since.

    I called GD warranty, explained my problem and two new switches were shipped. My stabilizers are now working fine.
