Fuse panel behind slide

Slide not working. Can’t easily get to fuse panel because slide blocks it. Any suggestions on how to replace fuses you can’t reach. Such a stupid design

My power panel is also blocked by the slide when it is in. Yes, stupid design by an engineer who has never RVed.
I have blown the fuse in the panel once when my batteries were low and the slide was in. I had just enough room to get a telescoping mirror in to see which fuse and then could replace it by feel while laying on top of the low TV cabinet at the end of the slide. Took awhile.
Have you checked the resettable fuses between the battery and slide motor to ensure they are good. They are usually what pops first and much easier to access.
You should also be able to apply 12v power directly to the slide motor.

When my slide stopped working, it was a separate blown fuse underneath the slide that was blown. Not one on the inside fuses panel.
