Bedroom slide won't go out!

[RonaldH]

I'm in our 2018 Force 36FK cleaning today and the living and kitchen slide are working but the bedroom is not. Hubby checked the fuse and said it looked like one fuse fed all three. I am plugged into shore power at my home. Anybody got any ideas???

Make sure that the ignition key is off. Our is locked out if the engine is running.

Also check to see that brake is fully engaged. Had occasion a few years ago trying to break camp , could not get bedroom slide to come in. . I released and reset brake couple times and found it was not engaging , setting completely. Apparently has a lockout sensor of some kind. Needed to do a little adjusting
turning of brake pull knob. Also realized Key had to be in Accessory position /Left not Start right. Worth a try. SS

Yes, the trucks are one that have two different slides. Norco (Cables slide in the bedroom) and Power Gear (Below floor electric ram in the front area). I think at one time, you needed key on for the front, key off for the back or something like that. I asked the EE and he said that's what the install called for. I explained that we should wire them the same and let the slide supplier change their info to an either/or. Or find a new slide supplier.

Thanks for the reply. The key wasn't in the ignition but we are going to go ahead and start the RV and then turn off and make sure it is in the off position.

I have tried the ignition key with no success. With the bed in I don't see how I can access the motor or controls. It looks like there is only one fuse feeding all three slides, and the other two work fine. Is there a trouble shooting guide that I can get? Thanks for your help, Ron

Brake engaged I assume? Not getting any codes? I would try engine off, key out, brake engaged.

Yes, engine off, key out, brake engaged. No joy.

The slide is not doing anything, no noise, no clicks, no nothing. I'm assuming there is no power to the motor or that a limit switch or potentiometer has it off.

Is the toggle switch for the slide what reverses the motor? I will probably pull it next to see if I am getting power in and out. Other than that, I am afraid I may have to disassemble something to get to the motor and controls.


Thanks, Ron

You can take out the panel under the bed to access the motor and cables.

Forgot I had images.

Be sure to check Hydraulic fluids, as you use slide outs the level is reduced, naturally, they never supply an abundance of fluids on these new models.

I hope the hydraulic fluid for that rear slide is found to be empty...cause its an electric cable slide.

I have no motorhome. .. have you tried the remote and the switch... assuming you have both? Causes odd things to happen. Is there a thermal reset on the motor? Cheap checks

[RonaldH]

There is power to the toggle switch which controls the slide and there are only three wires on the switch so I am assuming there is a controller located somewhere. Does anyone know where it is on our Dynamax 36 FK? I cannot find one for the bedroom slide.

It looks like we will have to remove part of the bed support to get access to the motor and drive unit and thought the controller may be located in the same location.

Thanks for all the help, Ron
