    Have you tried flicking the switch to down while you jack the handle? Sometimes they can get jammed up. Might be an idea to use a screwdriver or something to flick the switch, you don't want the car falling on your hand.

    you have to try and move the lever (but only part of the way) as though you are jacking it up after you've flicked the little switch, then you'll feel it drop down a notch, keep doing this. if this doesnt work, a trolley jack is your best friend.
