Title: Slide out
Post by: Dale Malquist on October 11, 2019, 02:37:14 PM
Road side rear slide out won’t go out. I can faintly hear some noise in either in or out when pressing switch.

Dale,
Both bedroom slides are electric with the road side being the heaviest and requiring the most current. I'd start by checking the condition of your batteries. Also, try having you SO hold the battery boost switch while operating the slide as I think that should add the chassis battery  current. Fuse F3 in the toilet box is for the slides but I think it's for both so it is probably OK if the curb slide works. If the lights dim when you press the slide switch, the motor is getting power and attempting to move the slide. If so, I'd suspect a mechanical problem or a slide mechanism that needs lube.

Thanks again Steve.
A heads up. When you helped me with my headlight problem a few months ago. I don’t know if this coach came with a daytime running light module but if it did someone relieved me of it. So me seeing an empty relay socket stuck in standard relay thereby grounding circuit.

When my bedroom slide stoped working the fix was a bad ground connection on the limit switch

When our bedroom slide stopped working it was a small control board underneath the stack of drawers next to the closet. When replaced the slide worked fine.

When our electric bedroom slide stopped working several years ago, the problem was a broken wiring connection to the motor.  Our friend's son, an airline maintenance technician with Continental-United in Houston, checked the power supply at the panel, then the wall switch, then we lifted the bed and he lightly tugged on the wiring.  The wires to the motor immediately came off.  In less than 30 minutes, he fixed the broken connection and changed out several cheap inline connectors.  We have had no problems since.
