No kidding, I can read. And actually my 5er has same hydraulic setup.
So it IS APPLICABLE.

that doesn't look automatic to me. Looks like a manual reset. I'm here to learn.

Cavie you are correct. What he showed is NOT an auto-reset. The one I showed is.

Ok, I need to ask if your RV has IRC (individual Room Comtrol)? IRC are valves that allow you to turn off the hydraulic fluid to each slide so it will either stay in or not retract depending on the position before the valve was closed.
The reason I ask is I used the IRC to to disable the two main slides one night so I could retract the bedroom slide to slide a dc power cable in to run my cpap.
In the morning when we were breaking camp I completely forgot I closed the valves for those two slides. I could not figure out why the slide motor kept quitting and would not bring in those two slides.
Long story short, when the mobile tech showed up,  he poked around and said “I think it is the manifold system.” I looked at him and said “Don’t tell my wife!” I realized as soon as he said that what I had done. LOL
Anyway, if you have those valves, check that they are all open..

The Georgetown 378 doesn't have this either. 1 switch for the front left/1 switch for the front right/1 switch for the bedroom. They are independently controlled. No shutoff/control valves and such as your system has.

Voltage at battery’s 12.64 with shore power disconnected
When I tap on hydrolic motor with slide button on , motor works , yet all external wire connections cleaned and tight .
Iam thinking there’s an internal connection problem on the motor or some sort of dead spot

You did say the levelers function normally and the same motor/pump is used. Strange things can happen though. What is the voltage at the motor when the slide switch is actuated?

Have you tried to extend the slides without the levelers extended? As said with all slides and levelers retracted the hydraulic reservoir fluid should be about 1/2 to 1 inch below cap. You said you did some wiring fixes earlier? Could just be a bad motor.

With voltage at the motor that would indicate the trombeta (reversing motor relay) is working. Sounds like a motor/pump issue.

Both the converter and battery are on with reading of 12.10 volts at hydrolic motor when slide switch on

Is the motor running while measuring 12.1 volts?

12.1 volts indicates a dead battery. remove it and have it load tested.

12.1 volts doesn't sound bad with the motor as a load on it. One thing you could do is have someone engage (hold) the emergency start switch and actuate the slide switch to see if the slide will now extend, retract. That will add the chassis battery to the equation to aid the coach battery.
