One slide out not working

I have a 2703WS, I put all three slides in and moved the trailer to another part of my driveway, the wardrobe slide and the dinette slide went back out fine, the sofa slide does nothing, no noise, no click nothing, I looked in the owners manual for a reset or some clue and can't find any info, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I figured this out and thought I would post what I found in case it can help someone else at some point , about a foot back from the battery underneath the tongue there are three fuses in green rubber holders there's a sticker on each one of them stating 30 amp Max, I checked the fuses and one was blown replaced and slide out works! too bad it didn't state it anywhere in my paperwork

As Fonzie said, thanks for letting us know what you found and how you fixed it.

Those fuses are a common source of frustration for newer owners (and sometimes us old ones). And they don't make them easy to find on some units.

Now that you know which is which Id probably take a piece of blue masking tape and write Sofa on it and stick i to the fuse holder. Id pull one more and see what didn't work so I could mark all three. Make it easier to go tot he right one first try next time it happens.

BTW, it usually happens when you keep the switch activated after the slide is fully closed BTDT.

Can you post a picture of the fuse in question?

Did you look at Micro MCASE cartridge fuses?

Amazon also has them.
Your local Auto Parts store may have them also.

Just search for ATM Mini Circuit Breaker.

Some of the things auto parts stores have some times will surprise you.

Thanks for letting us know where you got one.

Question Bedroom Slide Not Working 2012 VCross Platinum 275 5th Wheel

Trying to pack up and leave Nebraska today and bedroom closet slide won't work. It is currently in the out position.

Where is the motor access for using the hand crank? We saw instructions in the manual, but no indication where to put the crank to move the slide back inside.

Is there an another fuse box other than the main panel in the kitchen cabinet area?

Help Please!! Thanks!!

I would change all those fuse's to auto reset. I got tired of standing on my head to reset my landing legs fuse. Changed that to auto reset.
