On my 378 there is a resettable breaker in the battery compartment area.

Hope this helps


Also what model do u have and are the control lights functioning?

i have the same model 378. i reset the breaker and got the jacks to raise but the slides will not work . is there another breaker for the slides or do you think the battery is low.

There's a 15 amp fuse in the battery box, that controls the slides, I bet it's blown.

I've located a 120 amp CB to Hyd pump from coach battery. None are marked for Lippert slides. Could it be F1 15 amp on FR dwg labeled "inverted ignition"? Would make sense, they will not operate with IGN on.
I've traced all other leads of the pump control harness including the PC board in the wire harness itself. Have not located the power supply for the slides control. Think this is it? All other fuses are labeled except two 5 amp and one 25 amp marked not used on the coach side bus. Thanks

That should be it, I have had problems with my slides a couple of times they would not go out. Under steps there a fuse box and there's a 15 amp fuse 2nd from the right that was blown.
