Question slide out not working

Hello everyone, I have a problem with my 1999 flagstaff 27ft travel trailer. The slide-out has extended fully and i cannot get it to return. I hit the switch and it is completely dead like there is no power at all getting to the motor. Is there an in line fuse somewhere that i am missing? All of the fuses and breakers inside the box look fine. Also, is there a way to manually bring the slide out back in. Thanks, this is mike and this is my first post to any forum of any kind. I appreciate any timely response as this trailer has been borrowed from my in-laws and is currently on a property a couple hours away. I would like them not to worry about this problem.

There usually is an in-line fuse that should be close to the battery. You haven't indicated if your slide is an 'above floor' slide like a couch slide, or 'flush floor' slide like a typical dinette/couch slide. If its a couch slide, the drive will be under the couch. If it's the larger, flush floor slide, there should be a drive to the slide drive through the frame on the non slide side of the camper.

Check your Dc control panel near your Battery, should be some resets that could be tripped out. I experienced this problem, slides would not retrack. I found the DC panel tripped.
This may not b your problem, but check and see.

There should be a long rod with a socket or large allen head in the storage area. And an access point or hole along the slide face that the rod sticks into.. All you do is turn the rod and the slide will move in.
