Hi All,just bought a 06 Starcraft 14RT tent trailer today and towed it home with my T100.We got a good deal on craig's list,it's clean and easy to tow.
My problem is the electric tounge jack blew a fuse on the way home.It worked fine at the po's house and when I got home and went to use it I notice the fuse was blown.It was a 20amp yellow off the + batt. to the unit.So I replaced it with a 30amp(it said 30 max,did not have any 20's).It also has a light on the unit and that worked for a couple secs.I turned it off then tried the jack and blamo popped again.No more 30's so I tried a 10,the jack worked for a sec. the popped that one,tried 1-more 10, same result.So I just rolled over the floor jack and got it unhooked from the truck.

So what do you think I have going on? Any help would be great,I thought the electric deal was pretty slick until now.

Thanks,John
 
Probably needs a good cleaning and lube. Motor drawing too many amps due to resistance.
