All 3 slides quit working

[wmmhvac]

Hello,

I have a 2 week old rockwood signature ultra light 5th wheel and all 3 of my slides do not work it is the 8281ws. I checked fuses and breaker all ok but still the slides do not work any ideas

I have the same 5er. Haven't had an issue with the slides yet (knock on wood). Have you checked your battery disconnect switch located behind the battery box (on mine anyway)? I'm not sure if they'll operate if it's turned off (pushed in on mine) even if you're plugged in. Maybe that's the issue.

I did check the battery disconnect switch and it is pulled out or on. Thanks for your reply

Are your batteries 'up' to full power and do you keep your unit plugged in when not in use or do you have your battery disconnected when not in use? There are parasite losses from your battery from several places. Do your 'lights' work? You will need a full battery to move your slides.

Hydraulic or electric slides?

[wmmhvac]

electric

The Batteries are fully charged and i do keep unit plugged in when not in use. Everything else seems to work, I have not checked appliances. If unit is not plugged in i turn off battery switch. Thanks

I dint have a 5th wheel but had the same issue last week with our slide. It was a fuse located on a wire between the battery & the frame. Maybe you have one outside that you've missed?

Remote system control board is separate from fuse/breaker panel and it has fuses also

My TT had the same problem. There are 30amp fuses under the tongue between the battery and the frame. Both were bad.

There is probably a separate fuse for your slide outs under the camper. Same thing happened to me...fuses in the box were good, but under the camper was bad. Mine was located under the camper near the front on the right side as I looked at the hitch. There could be wires under there with a small rubber box attached ...pull the box apart and replace the fuse.

I have an 8289. When I left home all slides came in. When I got to destination, all slides except dining slide worked fine. It didn't move though motor runs. Crank turns but nothing moves. Glad it wasn't the refrigerator slide!

A shear pin has broken somewhere with he drive system if both do not work.
