If you start trying to fix it yourself, you will probably void a warranty.

from what the OP described there is a short in that circuit. Depending on where the wire for that circuit is running finding the short can be anywhere from a "piece of cake" or "one's worst nightmare".
To the OP, if you don't want to take it to the Dealer check systematically for the short. Start at the Stereo end and remove it from it's mount. check the power wire as far as you can follow it through the stereo mount hole. Once you've ID'd the wire follow it into the next available access point.
In my TT the stereo wire passes behind the microwave then down alongside the refrigerator until it reaches the power distribution panel. The Microwave and range hood below it are metal and if the wire is pinched, a possible shorting point. I
It's also possible that the short is in the wire feeding the slide's light. Not unlikely as the wires feeding the slide are moving as the slide goes out or in. Look for obvious pinch points or loose connections where the wires flex as the slide travels.
Again, on my TT this is underneath the slide with wires inside a piece of wire loom that looks like a black plastic "angle worm" about an inch in diameter (maybe larger, maybe smaller, on other units.
I'd look for the obvious first before going through the hassle of taking it to the dealer.
