Slide out not working

Last season I installed a new fuse at the battery (Cedar Creek Cottage) This made the slides work again. Now the slides do not work . no noise. Any suggestions. Fuse is brand new again.

Welcome to the forum its a great place to get your questions answered. If you have checked the fuse with a multi meter and it is good then I would say your batteries are not putting out the power they should.

Multi Meter

I will check the fuse again. It was the fuse last time so you may have me on the right track. My battery is new and I believe is fully charged.

Check the circuit breakers

In my Cedar Creek 5th wheel, there are mini circuit breakers that control the hydraulic pump that powers the slide-outs.

The following applies to my rig, and may also apply to yours:
If either or both of the levelers or slid-outs stop working, you may have tripped a circuit breaker.
1.If you hear a click, that means the solenoid is telling the motor to start/stop. If the motor doesn’t start, a circuit breaker has probably tripped.
2.There are 3 breakers hidden behind a shroud in the nose storage compartment.
3. They look like tiny buttons inserted into a gray housing.
Simply push in the button to reset the breaker. If the breaker had been tripped, you will hear a slight click.

The attached photo shows my circuit breakers

My Result

Checked the battery with multi meter, voltage great. Changed the slide out fuse. Now you can hear the pump turning. Both in and out. Next week I will bring slides in. I think all will go well.
Thanks for your help. I take care of my slide rubber and gears. I hope they come in as they did last season
The fuse in your photo helped. I changed my fuse as it would not reset.
