2022 wildwood 26dbud stabilizers freeze up

Help..
I am camping for first time with a new 2022 Wildwood DBUD camper. Set up on a almost level site. (within 2 inches).
Pushed down the stabilizers. When I go back to make fine adjustments, the switched work sometimes, sometimes not. Yesterday evening they wouldn't work at all. Neither switch, neither direction. Now this morning they worked some, some times up, sometimes down. No exact pattern.

Hooked up on 50 amp AC power, sitting in a campground. Camper lights, refrigerator and everything else works fine.
When I have to leave tomorrow, what if one, or both switches fail?

If I remove them, will that void my warrantee? The dealer is 2 hours away.

Question I have a 22 28DBUD, Same exact problem

I was at my first camp site. Level location. Toggle switches work about 1/2 the time. Everything else worked fine. 50 Amp. I managed to keep toggling the switches and eventually got the stabilizers up. Took the camper home, they worked fine. Parked it for a few weeks. Now I have reservations and was checking everything and its the same problem; problems with those toggle switches. Now the front works, and the rear won't work. This is new... 2 overnight stays.

I called the dealer. They said I have to take the camper in to them to get that fixed. How in the crap can I get the camper to the dealer if the stabilizer won't go up.

Hand crank them up. Had the same issue while camping this year. Trailer came with a hand crank. Also it is a simple 2 way switch replacment. Replaced at home and good as new. Keep extra switch in tool box for next time.

if it is a faulty switch.. and you don't have a spare

remove switch from wall .... you can jumper the wires .
works with most power stabilizers and tongue jacks

Don't ask which wire to jump as there are 6 wire and 3 wire setups
you would have to post a picture of the back of your switch
BUT normally (in the toggles I have seen)
power coming IN to the switch is the center pole

I have the manual crank handle

I cut it off straight so I can use it in a electric drill
