Help with GT5 31L bedroom slide only one side works - can’t extend it.

Need any help locating the controllers, specifically the right side if facing the slide from the outside. Any help locating fuses or anything to narrow down the problem please. I’ve not been able to locate any info specific to my unit.
Thanks so much for any guidance.

You might want to give folks a chance to answer your first post about the slides before starting a second thread.

In doing more searches I stumbled on this area of the forum and thought I’d have a better chance of finding help here so posted the question again. I’ll gladly delete the other post if that’s a problem.

Dmhawv7 not a problem for me just lending some advice on how I've seen the forum work. It sometimes takes a little time for a post to gain steam.

All good. I’m just a little desperate to get it fixed so I can access all the necessities that are inaccessible with it closed. [emoji22]

SOLVED! Controller was inside black box at back passenger compartment. I swapped power lines to each motor and it jumpstarted the one that wasn’t working. Many tweaks in and out and it’s all good now. Thanks for all the input and thank you Jeff Hood at FR who answered my call and went the extra mile to find out the location for me.

So location solved but slide is still not operating correctly, weak and not even. Managed to get it in so I could drive it home. All the led lights in the bedroom have failed also. So thinking some electrical issue. I’ll post when I truly have a cause and solution.
