2007 Roo 23SS's slideout stopped working

Well, after over 8 years of flawless operation, our slide switch is dead.
I'm suspecting a fuse that others have mentioned under the slide.
can someone tell me where it's at?
I'm traveling and only have a tablet to access the Forum.

Bikendan, on the newer units the fuse is located on the left forward side of the trailer frame just aft of where the A frame straightens out underneath. Ours was on a separate feed forward of a junction box. On the pic its the green fuseholder. Hope it's just the fuse.

Unfortunately, replaced original blown fuse, then the next two also blew.
This has never happened before and I even cranked the slide in some before trying the last new fuse.
The motor did run for a few seconds before the fuse blew.
Any ideas?

Check voltage. If it is low, it could cause high current and blow fuse.

When you said the motor runs for a few seconds then the fuse blows, does the slide move at all? If the issue is mechanical - like something binding - the motor maybe be trying to move the slide and eventually it overloads and blows the fuse. Not sure if there is a clutch or slip disc in those or not. If there is, seems like it would just slip and continue to run without moving the slide. The other possibility is a problem with the motor, but seems like if you had a short or a bad motor it would the fuses right away.
