HWH jack wont extend, 94pt

[Gregory OConnor]

Steve and Gardner, thanks both good info to add. I got a call from
Canada with the fix (RobR 93pt)It seems as the jolt was enough to
knock a poor ground wire loose on the jack. I reached ontop of the
jack and fiddled with the 3 wires and the jack extended with the
next attempt.

As per Gardners post I set the tires down with a ton or two to keep
it from rolling. my bus is in gravel so I can steam the engine while
the radiator is out and I fear a chock will just skid. On the PT
the tag has no park brakes. when you think about it if the drive
axle bags bleed out, the bus would take off rolling on the steer and
tag!!!!!!!

Steve is that brake switch in the the generator radiator Bay?

green / white wire to both sides (this is from memory, an almost 60
yr old memory).
