Hydraulic slide motor

[bubbles]

Do not engage the ignition switch when doing the above the ignition interlock will defeat the slides from working.

I have tested my relay , I have 13 volts at relay , when I press my slide out switch I get 13 volts at my hydrolic motor but motor wants to work but doesn’t , i they’d tapping on motor at same time but still nothing . Don’t see any info on motor , does anyone know what replacement motor I need

What does “wants to run” sound like?

Another poster said your RV has 3 slide switches. Does this happen with all 3?

[gpci]

Yes happens with all three slides

[dalford]

Does the 13 volts change polarity at the motor when you press extend then retract?

[gpci]

Slides won’t move at all

[gpci]

Not sure I will check tomorrow

[dalford]

What position are the slides now? All in, all out or somewhere in between?

[gpci]

Dalford , motor making noise when switch pressed but sounds like motor not spinning

[gpci]

Slides are all out

Ok.. make sure the voltage swaps polarity at the motor when you push extend/retract. There is a possibility the relay is not swapping polarity of the voltage at the motor and the pump is still trying to extend the slide and there is no extend left and the motor bogs/stops. Just a quess...

Tks for the info , I will reply after I check tomorrow

Removed hydraulic motor , connected 12 volts , still wouldn’t work , opened motor to find 2 of 4 magnets broken

Good news, I think.. looks like you have pinpointed the problem. There was a post on here not to far back where someone rebuilt or maintenances their motor. I look to see if I can find that thread or they might just chime in..

[dalford]

Here is the thread.. not sure if same motor but PM the OP and ask questions... good luck.

Tks dalford that was great info , I wouldn’t mind paying $800 for a new motor except it’s become obvious Lippert motors are not a quality motor in my opinion ,
Tks for the help , your help is truly appreciated 🤠
