Surveyor 200MBLE Slideout Controller Location

[Rant]

I have a 2017 FR Surveyor 200MBLE and the slide stopped working in the closed position. I am looking for the slide controller and I can't find it anywhere. I have opened every access panel that I know of. I have checked under the entertainment center, under the bathroom sink, under the kitchen sink and by the hot water heater, in the bathroom closet. I have checked every drawer and cabinet for access panels still nothing. Does anyone know where else to look?

Sounds like you have a Schwintek slideout system. Are there two tracks on each side of the slideout?
Slide controller location are model-specific.

Yes it's a Schwintek, there are two tracks.

In a lot of units the controller is under the slide, or in a compartment right near the slide.

I have a 200mble and pretty sure it's under the slide. Manually crank it out and you should see it.

You can't manually crank a Schwintek slideout system.

I manually cranked it out and it's not under there.

Then it's not a Schwintek.

In my previous post, i asked if you had two tracks on EACH side of the slideout. These are Schwintek tracks and there are an upper and lower track attached to each side of the slideout.

You're right, it's a Lippert and I still can't find the controller.

That's a through frame slide. It has no controller. All it has is the switch and at the other end of the rod with the gold colored cap is the motor and gearbox.

I am getting no power to the slideout, any recommendations for troubleshooting?

That's because it doesn't have one.
The Schwintek does because it has a dual motor system that have to be synchronized.

Have you looked for a 30 amp slideout fuse, along the frame by the slideout.

There is nothing on the outside of the frame, the underbelly is covered so I can't see the inside of the frame.

[Bama Rambler]

Can you check for voltage at the switch?
Is there a fuse in the power panel for the Slide?

If not, Somewhere near the battery(s) is a 12 volt breaker (ShortStop).

It looks like below. It can be plastic or metal and it should have a small button on the side that's the reset. There may be more than one so you may have to figure out which is for the slide.

On my Surveyor, whenever my through frame slide stops working, it’s because I hit slide in button while the slide is already all the way in, which blows the 30A fuse in the fuse panel. So I have to manually crank open the slide just enough so I can open the bathroom door to go in and access the fuse panel to change out that fuse, which I keep several on hand for such an occasion. If you haven’t checked your fuse panel, I’d look there.

So I have figured this out, thanks everyone for the help, I just wanted to post an update for anyone else that reads this thread that has the same problem with their 200MBLE. It was the 30 amp fuse in the main fuse box in the bathroom, the fuse was labeled Slide MTR, not sure how I missed it. It did blow because the switch was held too long. It's a very easy fix, once you know where to look.

Thanks for coming back and letting us know that you figured it out. I'm glad it was just a blown fuse.
