Slide does not work

After uncovering my 2003 flagstaff to get ready for the season, I find the slide not working. I went and banged the motor, thinking it may have been frozen but NG.

Haven’t been able to find a fuse and can’t get to my manual. Any suggestions ?

Manual will NOT have any information to help with this issue, as it's generic.
The slide out usually has its own 30 amp fuse, tucked up along the frame, near the slideout.

I am having the same problem with my 2018 Hemisphere Hyperlite 23RBHL. Checked all breakers and fuses inside and all are OK. Can’t find any fuses or breakers under the camper. Worked ok for 2 weeks, and then just stopped.

Just a note, the slide out switch has been acting up the last week or so.

I have a 2016 Leprechaun, and had the same problem. Knew it had to be a fuse because LPG detector also was not working. I called Coachmen. After 2 suggestions where to look for the 5 amp fuses from them, I ended up stumbling upon them on my own. Sounds like they put them wherever they feel like that day. Good Luck.

There should be a mini circuit breaker near the battery that has to be manually reset. You will have one red wire going to a block & one coming out, on that block you will see a small black button, that you push in. This is the reset button. be careful where you are touching, remember there is voltage there. Hope this helps.

resettable fuses for slides and battery are under the tongue within 3 or 4 feet of the battery.

Thanks. Found it but with no button or apparent way to reset it. Measured dc voltage to ground from each breaker terminal and got 13.71 v. Thinking that breaker being tripped is not the problem.
