did you check the breakers/ fuse ?

[Fire Instructor]

Can you hear the motor turn or hum when you activate the switch? If not, locate the motor and with someone holding the switch, use a circuit tester to check for power. If no power when holding switch, put the switch off the wall, and check for power there. There is likely a fuse in the circuit. It SHOULD be between the switch and the power supply, but no guarantee. You may actually want to start by checking that fuse.

Yes the fuse is fine,is there one for each slide?

[TURBS]

If you don't carry or have a multi meter in your camper you should ! They one of the most important tools you can carry camping .

[Fire Instructor]

There may be. It may also be double fused. One for the circuit that supplies power to all of the slide motors, and then an in-line fuse by each motor. I believe that mine is double fused. (and I only have one slide!)

[striper1]

The motor is making no sound at all,unhooked the rear slide button and hooked to the front slide and still nothing,

[TURBS]

so you have have not checked the breakers or fuses ?

[striper1]

I cant find motor for the front tells you how to do it manual but the camper has the bottom covered because of heated tanks

[striper1]

Fuse in box is fine

[Fire Instructor]

Then it sounds like it's either the motor, a connection (power or ground connection), or an in-line fuse near the motor. You really need to find the motor to diagnose further.

I don't know your floorplan, but my slide's motor is inside (away from weather), under the fold-out couch. Is there ant fixed furnature or cabinets near your slide that it could be tucked under?

[TURBS]

there should be a breaker for the slides as well .

[striper1]

Thanks guys for your help,i will call the dealer tomorrow, the DW found the manual crank after all my cussing,the slides out and its time to move on,concentrait on the dutch oven gathering saturday.

Check under your camper just behind the battery's and propaine tanks that is were the breakers are located on my 06 Cherokee slides wouldn't go in on time got under it and they had popped out reset them and bang have not had any problems with again this was 4 years ago good luck

Everything I find say motor is under the slide

[Herk7769]

If your slides have motors and not hydraulics, look for a pigtail type 30 amp breaker for each main slide within 18 inches of the battery. My pigtails are green.

The wardrobe slide (opens with steel wires and not a rack and gears) has a fuse in the fuse panel in my camper.

I relocated mine and put autoresetting fuses in place of the single blow 30 amp ones when I re-did the battery compartment.

Hope this is helpful

So, Striper, what did the problem wind-up being?

[striper1]

@fire instructor dont know finally found the manual crank to get it out,gonna take it to dealer monday,hope it aint nothing major,i think what upsets me most is its only the 2nd trip and I think about my wilderness I had for 12 years and it NEVER seen the inside of a shop,just the new trailer did I do the right thing jitters.

[striper1]

Turns out the slideout motor needs to be replaced,hope the new one lasts more than 54 days.
