Guessing bad connection is cause of click-click.. but...
Ratcheting sound (Many clicks like a car with low battery) = battery or connection
Sharp click, just once. = other issue Does the light stay one when you press jack button?
Yes = bad relay or motor
No = bad motor in many cases.
Now this is not a pop up but I had a no-start on my 8.1L vortec. Sharp click. No Clunk, No Ratchet.. Turned out to be the first of 2 relays (called pilot relay) The 2nd is the starter solenoid.
Pulled. Cleaned contacts Varoom.
I doubt you have a pilot relay on that system but the controller does have relays.
To hand crank you may need to move a lever somewhere.

My guess, if the electric and hand crank won't work, a clicking sound, sounds like a worn gear no longer making good engagement. Maybe get someone on all 4 corners to gently assist with the raising process, at least to get it up in the air to better evaluate.
