I got a strange situation,I just winterized my MH I put the jacks down a little bit then I turned on the CB just to listen a little bit then I keyed ths mic on the CB and my jacks retracted?then whenever I keyed the mic they acted crazy,had to turn the engine key off to stop it,then the jacks worked fine untill I would key the CB mic???
they are Power Gear hydralic jacks,in a 2004 Bounder ,workhorse chassie.
I got the CB wired so I just plug it into the cigarette lighter for power?
this never happened before just started

It sounds like the RF (radio frequency) from the CB is causing the problems. Try moving the CB to another location and make sure the antenna connection is tight.

Yep, RF energy floating around in there. Check the coax connector to the antenna, and the antenna itself (do an SWR check). You might also want to check the radio ground and the antenna ground.
you have my sympathy. When I key up my 2 meter rig here at home, if the paper shredder is in standby mode, it starts up. The speaker system for the computer hums, as well.
But then, my 2 meter rig has 50 watts output.
If all else fails, you may have to rewire the control circuits to the jack solenoids with shielded wire, with the shield well grounded, or fabricate and install metal shields over the solenoids.
again, well grounded.

It's not unusual to get stray RF into electronics. Since this is a cig lighter powered radio, where's the antenna?

Loose antenna connector? Magnetic mount antenna?
I have seen much stranger issues.
