Bedroom slide stopped working

[M T Pockets]

2018 Force HD 37TS. Bedroom slide closed as normal this morning. Got to our new site and went to put out slide and nothing. No sound no movement in or out. Accu slide wiring diagrams show a controller and 30 amp fuse. Any idea where these components are ? Checked fuses in panel for slides and all good. cables are all tight and there has been no unusual sounds when operating it in the past. Any help would be appreciated.

Should be on the 12V fuse panel. You can also check the fuse panel on the back wall of the electrical bay where the inverter is.

Thanks Brian. I did change the 15 amp fuse in the panel with no results and changed the #2 relay in the wet bay also with no change. The panel in the electric bay does not appear to be involved with that back slide according to the diagram for that panel. There is a 30 amp breaker fuse in the fuse panel that i'm going to pull and put a regular fuse in to see if that works.

There is power to the swicth. Does this slide use a control panel and if so where would I look for that. I do not recall seeing it under the bed when I had that area apart checking cables and lubing pulleys.

Not the cable slide.

I assume the chassis is off?

 

[M T Pockets]

yes chassis is off. Even tried starting , releasing brakes, putting in drive, then park, reapplying brakes an shutting down. Still nothing. Strange part no clicks or sounds of any kind when hitting switch. May try a complete battery shutdown and re start. Running out of options other than trying to get the mattress out of there and accessing the motors. The taller mattress we have is a tight fit getting out when the slide is out. This will suck.

I assume this is not multiplex?
IF it is multiplex, I know there should be a big brown panel with fuses. At one point we put a thermal fuse in at 10amps to prevent that motor from pulling too hard, as it could pull the pulley's off the wall.

If there is power at the switch....then the switch is bad, the motor is bad, or a wire on the motor came loose.

It is always interesting to read these slide concerns. However, each time I do it always makes me wonder about the one slide on my Isata 3. ( 24CB )
Question - if it fails to retract and I am at a campground, how does one go about manually moving this in please. I saw a sticky thread dated 2019 where Brian C suggested that Dynamax might develop an instruction video on this, but I was unable to find this on the Dynamax site.
Can someone enlighten me please ? Thank you. Dean

If you had an actually motor failure or some other failure preventing the motors from moving, this video shows the steps you would need to follow.

It looks a little easier than it will be because it is a demonstration and not on an actual RV.

Thank you for the quick reply. I am a bit smarter now that I understand the ease to remove the motor(s). So now to look inside my RV to see how to get to the motors. Thanks again. Dean

I will say, and probably not your issue here, I have had a few poop my pants moments when trying to operate the slides and forgetting the key has to be on in the ignition.

 

[M T Pockets]

SOLVED.
I guess persistence pays off. I decided to go to the 3 big harness plugs in the wet bay and wiggle them around and came in and hit the switch and Bingo it works. (side note to this, had an awning issue at one time that it would not move in or out after being all the way out and found a wire not plugged into the plastic connector all the way which is part of the same harness that goes to the slide) Just never understood why there would be 10 relays and large harness plugs in a wet bay.
Anyway thank you Brian C. for your suggestions and info regarding that control box.

x2 on that!

and not labeled to boot

 

[bclemens]

I think we have moved them all to the electrical bay now...and have a label/schematic. Supposed to be putting the schematic on the inside door, but not sure where that is at.

continuous improvement. way to go!
