Slide outs usually work with 12 V. I wonder if there is a reset on yours?

Probably didn't check the slideout specific 30 amp fuse, under the slide along the frame.

Trying to eliminate dead battery, converter ect. is why I asked about shore power.

is motor running?

Had same problem on my micro-lite. Check fuse under tongue (green). If motor is running check bolt on shaft under the couch.

Reply to all

Thanks everyone. Been sightseeing thus not on line often. Some answers to your questions.
Lost shore power for a couple of days thus moved to another campsight. When pulled slide in under battery power....right when closed completely is did not no would not give those couple of clicks when completed.
When moved the slide would not push out under shore power ant too tried battery power..
Read my manual and only mentioned a reset but could not find....is the reply talking of outside under the slide/frame or inside?
Also, so sound of the motor running when flipping switch.
So I'll begin checking for a fuse this morning before we take off for the day again.
Will check later for more comments but I so do thank everyone very much for your suggestions.

Just recently had a similar problem. My battery showed 12.6 volts on the meter, but, when put under load, would not operate anything. Even the ceiling lights went out when I tried to operate the slide. The slide worked fine as long as I was plugged in to AC. Have a load test done on your battery.

Assuming you have a Schwintek slide, maybe the attached docs will help you. You'll have to find the controller. It's usually hidden behind a door panel with 2 hinges on one side and 1 hinge on the other, like the bottom door on the left on mine:

If the motor is not running, I would bet this is the problem. We blow that fuse constantly on our 2509s because our 6 year old likes to push buttons (we're working on that), while we're on battery power.

Got It

Sure do appreciate the suggestions. Found it to be the fuse (30 amp ) located behind the tongue right under the frame on the left front.......for my unit. Fuse was blown, stopped at Napa towards our next stopped, changed it and tonight I didn't have to manually crank it out.
Again, Thank You Everyone !!!!!!!

Thanks for coming back and letting us know what it was, and more importantly where you found it. It'll surely help someone in the future.

On our 2109s the 30 amp fuse for the slide out has gone out so many times I replaced it with a circuit breaker fuse.
I was getting tired of crawling under the trailer every time it went out.
I have tried the slide operation with the circuit breaker only in our driveway so far.
Next week I'll put it to the test at a campground.

Ours stopped working and checked underneath after pulling off shield and the motor came unmounted. Found screw floating around and was able to fix it.

Similar problem

I has a similar problem and it also turned out to be the fuse. I was getting power but not enough power through the system. The fuse under the tongue was corroded. I cleaned the housing and put in a new fuse an all is well.



THANK YOU FORUMS!!!!!!!!
