Oh Crap .... Slides don't work

The DW finally informs me today that she was trying to open the slides yesterday and they stopped after a couple inches.
There is no power for any of the four slides.
Power everywhere else seems okay.
I've checked the fuses under the bed and all look fine.

Is there any hidden fuses I don't know about for the slides ?

Thanks,
Ken

Kenny,
How about the fuses in the outside compartment on front drivers side of the coach? Many 12v fuses there.

I think that there is a fuse in the house battery compartment that is between the cables for batteries. That might have blown.

I did check that large fuse in the battery for the house compartment and that is OK I found something new though the electric fireplace and the front air conditioner for the heat pump will not turn on either so there's got to be a good size to somewhere that stopping those things from working

If wired similar to Georgetowns, you might have a breaker ( close to 100 amps) in or near the battery compartment that needs to be reset....

Ken,

the air conditioner, fire place and heat pump will be AC current (120 volt) and the slides I believe run on 12 volt battery. Things to check for AC, Fire Place and heat pump would be your AC breakers, ours are under bed. is any of your AC things working? Microwave as an example?

Ken,
How about a GFI outlet? Could one of those have tripped?

All good things in the suggestions but I have checked all loans and cannot find any problem I was an error about the heat pump though because it does turn on now but the fireplace still will not turn on and of course the slides will still not work I did not see anything I can reset in the battery compartment but I did check that big high voltage shoes there and that does check ok a my multimeter

Ken,
On ours anyway, for the inverter, there is a AC breaker under the bed for the inverter and also a on/off and small push button breaker on the inverter itself. have had our breaker on the inverter trip a few times.

if you have a night light, just take it and check each outlet in the coach and see if any of you outlets are not working, then like tmmar said could be a GFI outlet popped. on ours there are you outlets that are GFI protected, one in kitchen and one in bath.

You might try unplugging from land power and turn on inverter to see if fridge and micro work ok, slides should also work. That will test some of the 12 volt circuit.
Then try generator by itself and see what works.
Good luck.

Does the Emergency Brake have to be applied? Might look there. Just a thought.

Also are the slides on separate swithes or are they all on one switch?

Kenny, try deploying the jacks. They run off the same hydraulic pump.

I know this isn't it but is the key in the ignition? That will not allow them to work.
