Slideout problem

[we2lovecamping]

We have 2011 378 and this morning I was loading for 2 wk trip. I put bed room slide out 1/2 way as we are in tight storage area and needed to get in closet, when I pushed button to put slide in it went out further I made sure I was pushing "in" and it still went out further I checked outside to make sure it had room and again it went out until fully out and then it would do nothing. I waited awhile "thinking" tried other slides and they went out and in no problem then tried bdrm again and it came in. STRANGE!!!! Anyone else experience this? I'm a little worried we might have problems on trip but sure not staying home.

Sounds like the switch may have had moisture in it. It is a double pole, double throw with center off. The terminals on the back of the switch cross on the bottom to the opposite side on the top and I would suspect moisture inside the switch electrically tied the two bottom terminals together until it dried out. Would pull the switch sometime and look for any indication of a leak dripping on the back of the switch.

Could very will be the PCB in the wire loom from level control and slides control. Wiring leads to all soenoids on pump body and reverse/forward hyd switch for engage-retract.

Picture shows the connector that is at fault. Actually the signal to it is at fault. If things go out engage but will not retract, you can disengage this wire connector and operate "retract only" , slides and rooms will come back in. Lippert engineering gave me this trick to go on vaca also.

Note the yellow cap in the pic is the right rear side of tank(not fill). This connector with ty-rap is on rear side of pump below the manifold. Wires are white and black, release the catch first.
