    Jackplate help please

    I have a 2011 Ranger 522 with Bob's machine jackplate. It will lower but cannot get it to raise. I hear the solenoid click. But motor does not seem to run.

    It was very low on hydraulic fluid. So filled and still down but not up. Any help is welcome. I normally do not use it very often, but last time out hit the switch accidentally and went down further than I prefer.

    Thanks again for any help. What part needs replaced? Or where to start testing?

    Just because the solenoid clicks doesn’t mean it’s contacts are good. Voltage should be checked to the motor while energized with a volt meter. Obviously if the motor runs the pump, to run the motor down. It should be good I would think.

    Likely a bad solenoid or relay (not sure which plate you have). Contact Mark at BMS….he can talk you through troubleshooting it. I have talked with him twice….good customer service.
