Lippert Electronic Stabilizer Issue

[jsk125]

Recently, I've run into a recurring problem. I can extend one set of my Lippert electronic stabilizer, but to extract (bring back up) I have to hit the button/switch repeatedly, and eventually is comes up. My guess is that trick will eventually stop working.

I know I can manually bring it up --- but I find this disturbing. I've read all sorts of things like bring up manually so it "resets" itself, or replace the switch (the newer switch has a rain cover).

The dealer said it could be the motor. They could replicate it, so of course they didn't fix anything. I don't think they tried very hard to replicate it.

I'm going out next weekend and if it continues, I'll try the manual approach, which I read sort orf the stabilizers. Could be horseradish, but worth the try. Replacing the switch looks relatively easy. A new switch was only $40 or so.

Has anyone experienced this? Ideas?

Have you done any voltage tests with a meter at the switch or the motor when it does not work?
Throwing parts at something is never the proper approach to a repair.

Check the switch. Clean contacts and inspect for failed parts

FYI the part was cheap, always good to have an extra. I'll test this coming weekend and clean the existing switch.

I have a 2021 and both switches went bad one last year and the other this year I assume they had a problem because the old ones were no longer available they were updated and the new ones are larger
