Adjustment of slide stops on 2018 2400WS

When closing the slide, the front is closed and the back is trying to close but it is not quite closed. How do you adjust the stop positions on the slide motors. It's a 2018 MBS. Thanks

This worked for me when mine was about an inch out of alignment.

I would add to this that you should hold your switch in for 5 seconds after the slide is extended or retracted whenever you open or close it.

Once you get it squared away: When operating the slide, it should be done in one continuous movement until it is fully in or out. Don't stop and restart. Also, avoid giving kids, adults or a ton of cargo a ride on the slide.

AudiDudi I used the video that you posted about Retime a Schwintek Slide. When you would open the slide or bring the slide in it was off about 1", with using the retime procedure it is only off about 1/4". You really say to hold the button for 5 seconds after it is opened or closed, seems like a long time. Thanks for the Help.

That's what the forum is about - helping others and sharing info. I usually hold my slide button for 3-5 seconds after it quits moving. When I re-zeroed ours, it took about a 1/2 dozen tries of moving it a bit and then either opening or closing and holding the button.

I read this on another post and I have been doing it but I have powerglide, not schwintek on my slide. It seems that nothing is happening when I am holding for 5 sec. No sound, no movement, no click or noise from the motors, nothing. Am I supposed to be hearing or sensing something while I'm holding? Or does this only apply to Schwintek
