slide problem

2015 FR3 30DS bed slide will not work on electric. I had to use a drill and the flex driver to bring the slide in. Any help?

Sorry to say......
Since you were able to crank it in with the drill method, no gears are stripped
It's probably the DC motor

Maybe there's a short in the rocker button in the command center? Happened to ours. Fixed under warranty. Good luck
