Restore reliable extend and retract control to your Lippert Power Tongue Jack with this genuine OEM replacement switch assembly. Designed specifically for compatible Lippert power tongue jack systems, part 2020102614 is the correct drop-in fix when your existing switch is cracked, unresponsive, corroded, or intermittently failing.
The tongue jack switch takes more abuse than almost any other connector on your RV. It lives at the front of the rig, exposed to road spray, moisture, UV, and repeated contact from hands and gloves. When it fails -- sticky rocker, no response, or intermittent extend/retract -- the whole jack becomes a manual problem at the worst possible time: hookup and disconnect in a campground parking lot.
This genuine Lippert assembly uses a waterproof rocker design rated to resist moisture intrusion, keeping the internal contacts dry even in rain, washing, and humid storage conditions. It is a direct plug-in replacement for the original switch on compatible Lippert Power Tongue Jack models, including units that originally carried part number 226023.
Sealed against moisture intrusion -- resists road spray, rain, and washing without contact failure.
Exact-fit replacement from the original manufacturer -- not an aftermarket approximation.
Matches the original wiring harness connector on compatible Lippert tongue jack models -- no splicing needed.
Supersedes the earlier Lippert part number 226023 for cross-reference convenience when ordering.
The extend/retract switch assembly is the operator control for your Lippert Power Tongue Jack motor. Pressing the rocker in one direction commands the motor to drive the jack leg down (extend), raising the coupler off the ball. Pressing it in the opposite direction retracts the leg and lowers the trailer for hitching. The switch connects between the jack motor and the 12V power supply via the factory wiring harness.
When the switch fails internally -- due to contact oxidation, a cracked housing admitting water, or mechanical wear on the rocker pivot -- the motor may receive no signal, a partial signal, or a continuous signal. All three failure modes make the jack unreliable or inoperable. Replacing the switch assembly (rather than attempting to clean or jumper the original) is the correct and permanent fix.
When cross-referencing, confirm your jack model accepts the 2020102614 assembly. The supersession from 226023 to 2020102614 is a Lippert-issued change; both numbers refer to the same switch position on the jack.
Replacement is typically straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic 12V wiring. The general process involves:
No crimping, splicing, or relay wiring is required for a direct factory-harness plug-in installation on compatible jacks.
This switch is designed for compatible Lippert Power Tongue Jack models. Lippert produces multiple tongue jack variants with different switch housings and connector types. Use your jack's model number or the original switch part number (226023 or 2020102614) to confirm this is the correct assembly for your specific unit. If your original switch has a different connector body or mounting footprint, this part may not be a direct fit.
