Slide out Auto reset circuit

I've been trying to find my slide out auto reset circuit. The main reason to find it was to replace it. When putting the slides out or taking them in it stops and I have to wait a less than a minute and then start again. It's been like this ever since we bought it new (5 years ago). I've seen some discussion about replacing the breaker but not sure which one it is. I have a few photos of what I think might be it but still not certain. I suppose the next time i go out I could disconnect them and that would narrow it down.
Edit: Not sure how to add photos on pc so I will jump on Tapatalk app and add photos.

It's one of those two, probably the one on the left. Have a multimeter ready and check for voltage across the terminals. If no voltage while the breaker has tripped, that's the one. The Lippert (assuming) bulletin is on their website. Mine has never tripped again after replacing it with a manual resettable 80a.

Would this work or should I go the manual reset breaker? https://www.delcity.net/catalogdetails?item=76408

I looked on Amazon but didn't seem to find what I was looking for. I may have been using the wrong search terms though.

Got that backwards there, Philly.

If you're measuring ACROSS the terminals:
  • An open breaker has voltage across the terminals.
  • A closed (operational) breaker has no voltage across the terminals.

If you're measuring from the downstream terminal to ground (what you may have been thinking of):
  • An open breaker has no voltage wrt ground
  • A closed (operational) breaker has voltage wrt ground.

That’s them. I just replaced both of mine. Everything works fine now. The big slide was. 40 amp the bedroom slide was a 30. They are on the inside of the frame just in front of the stab jacks.

What size did you go with?

Same as what I replaced. If you go over what was on there you may burn up something much more expensive. Think of them as shear bolts on a snowblower.
