Slide out and awning does not work

[brandndrake88]

Everything in camper work but the slide out and awning will work

Please list what brand camper and model as this might help us help you better. First off do you have a battery in the camper and is it fully charged, sometimes slide out work best off a fully charged 12-volt system.

Have you checked the fuses since both are powered by 12v DC power?

Yes they was good

Have you checked for voltage with a multimeter?

 

[brandndrake88]

Yes I can’t get to the control module for the slide it is in and it is on the back wall I got cabinet that block me from getting to is there another way of getting to it

I believe this is your floor plan. I’ve seen a video from YouTube.
I did not see any control module on the wall alongside the pantry.
In fact I couldn’t see the module anywhere in the video.
Where exactly is it?
Are you saying you can’t get into the bunk room at all with the slide in?

Is there a fuse in power center marked Slide? And one marked Awning?

On my TT there are none in power panel so marked but both had inline fuses underneath. We're located near the tongue and received power from battery disconnect switch.

Might look for inline wearherproof fuse holders in that area. My slide had 30 amp fuse and awning a 20 amp.

my slide and awning fuses are in the main fuse panel

If the fuses look good
did you test them ....... or just look for the little red light
have someone hold the slide / awning switch while you watch for the light

better yet ... test the fuses with a meter

Our TT slide motors and awning motor are NOT fused in the converter / power panel. There are separate circuit breakers attached to the frame and near the battery. Typically, they are automatically reset but some have a button on the end to press to reset the breaker.

Do note the circuit breakers in the converter are for 120-volt AC operated items. i.e. microwave, converter, a/c, and wall outlets. The fuses in the converter panel are for 12-volt DC items. i.e lights, refrigerator control, furnace control, water heater control, etc.

A voltmeter is a must-have for troubleshooting electrical issues. Knowing how to correctly use it is even better.

the clue is the TWO items not working at same time ..... slides and awning
test voltage to the switches that operate the slides/awning
could be a co-incidence that two fuses blow together
BUT ... best to rule it out by checking the small control /switch panel
----------------------------------------

the switches may just be a signal wire of low amps ...
the slide motors will then get the higher amps from a second high amp connection and some sort of controller or solenoid.

-------------------------------------
My MAIN 12v fuse panel has a fuse......... that appears to feed the small switch / control panel (located next to the door)
easy to confirm remove the smaller panel from wall and see if the switches share a common positive wire going INTO each switch.

sometimes the little LED light for that MAIN fuse will NOT work
UNLESS you turn something ON via the switch panel

OR use meter on that fuse
Number 8 fuse

It is under the slide out on back wall
