Slide quit working after bumpy gravel road.

Well I found the problem, and my first thought was right. We (my friend) unscewed the plastic bottom cover and had to drop the electric rear stabilizer jacks, then folded the plastic cover back to the axles. I crawled under there took ahold of the first wire I saw and yep it was not connected. It had come loose from the wire nut. I retwisted the wire into the wire nut and had my friend push the switch and BINGO. So then we put everything back.
It could be done by one person, but with 2 it is much easier and faster. It
took us about an hour and a half; but I think if I were to do it again it would probably only take 45 min.

Thanks for your help.

The batteries are fine everything else works.

Dogfolks,

Absolutely nothing happens when I push the slide button.

This may be off thew wall, but is motor "trying" (or drawing current?) to move yet failing? Could be a rock jammed in the track.

I HAVE A CRIMP PROBLEM ON ONE OF MY SLIDE.I RE CRIMP THE WIRE AND EVERYTHING IS OK.

A lot of manufacturers use a simple crimp on connector that looks somewhat like a wire nut. It isn't of course, and I have had problems with them in the past. Had the same problem as you and the wire had come loose in the connector. I replaced all of them with crimp on Anchor brand heat shrink connectors. I would look at all of the exterior wiring to where the leads come out of the motor.

Yes, I already checked the fuse and switch.

Check for fuses first, then wiring.

Electric motor? Then yes it is a good chance something came loose. The motor is probably directly under the slide somewhere. But until you start removing panels and,looking your not going to know. Check the switch wires first. Maybe you'll get lucky.
