Slide won't extend on 2015 Min Lite model 2109

Our first RV with a slide and it will not extend. Appears to be a electrical vice hydraulic type and crank handle provided is too large to fit the manual override. Not enough room to turn the handle anyway as it as it is under the couch. When we put slide in, it seemed to push against the bed, don't know if this affected anything. All ideas are appreciated!

Aha, got the slide out with fabricated tool and drill. Fuse panel all good, the slide switch does not have any power. Is there a fuse somewhere I am missing?

This is not going to help you with your issue, I wish I could help, but I have been curious about how to manual operate my slide (in or out) in a situation where I don't have power. For 2 years I have been trying to figure out how to do it. Any pics or instructions on what you had to do would be greatly appreciated.


As for your issue, you have power to other places? Lights work, fridge works, etc? Its just the slide itself?

There's usually a fuse tucked up under the slideout.

Our 2109S (2012 model) has an inline slide fuse hidden just behind the hitch. You'll have to grovel on the ground to find it, but replacing it may solve your problem.

I checked under slide but no fuse there.
Everything else works fine, but I have no current going to the slide switch.

Found the fuse

Found the fuse under the rig close to the hitch area. Actually right near one of the jacks. Sure enough, the 30 amp fuse was blown. Thanks for your Help!
