we purchased a electric tounge jack and it only has one wire running out of it, and then the fuse holder does not have an open end. anyone had any experience installing one ?we aren't wanting to pay the rv place to install it if we dont have to.

I never have worked on one of those but I have worked on and rebuilt 12 volt motors restoring my truck. I am wondering if you only have one wire out because that is the hot wire? I bet it uses the frame of the jack as the ground. Thats the way a lot of 12 volt motor are made. If it has a built in switch aready wired I bet that is the way it is made.

I WONDER WHY the fuse holder has no open end ? wonder where it goes ?? any clue ?

Do a google search and see if anybody has any pics of installing one on the webshots or flickr page. I can not seem to picture what your describing in my head.

I don't know what model of jack you have but on mine I only have 1 wire going to the hot side of the battery. The jack grounds itself to the frame.Just make sure that there is no paint on your tongue where the jack bolts onto, so it will get a good ground.

Hey Will. The fuse is just packaged like that. When you mount the jack, just clean off the paint so it will ground good. After bolting it on you can repaint it to keep it from rusting.

Take the fuse holder and cut the wire in two. Skin it and attach it (positive post) as close to the battery as possible and then from the other end of it attach the wire from the jack. Install what ever amperage fuse that it calls for. (Just unscew the cap from the fuse holder and install the fuse.)

ah cool ! thanks ! it all makes since now !! thanks!!

well i got it hooked up and everything is great ! thanks for the help !
