Got the new motor and when I go to lift all i get is a rat a tat tat. I can engage the motor and manually lift it with ease but the motor wont lift by itself it will go down just fine but won't lift. I called the dealership I got the rv from and the motor thru and they ordered another motor picked up the new motor and everything is the same so can I get some advise as to where to look next.

I bought my 2009 Cougar brand new and had some of the same problems you seem to be having. First the 40amp fuses for the landing gear would blow every time I would raise or lower them. I cut the fuse holder out and installed a 40Amp circuit breaker, which took about thirty minutes, and it’s still working as we speak. As far as the click click click, the culprit is probably a CHEAP machine screw that goes through the shaft and the collar that turns with the motor. I turned the shaft until the holes lined up and drove the so-called machine screw out an put in a stainless one. I haven’t had a problem with either in 10years. Also, if you store it hooked up to power, you need to change out the cheap inverter for a three stage charger maintainer, to keep from blowing up your house battery.
