I have a 2001 Cedar Creek 34 footer and pull it with a 2005 Dodge Cummins/6 speed long bed 4WD and recently the main room slide would continue to try to close the slide after it was all the way in. The motor would stop and then start working for about 3 seconds and then stop and then do it again. When I got back from my trip to Utah, I noticed the kitchen slide was doing the same thing then the bedroom slide did it also. My question: Have you had any trouble with your slides? I have lubricated the slides and replaced the circuit breakers and topped off the oil reservoir with no change. I am thinking that the switch has some crud in it as when the slides start going in they don't stop when the rocker switch is released. Maybe I should blow it out with compressed air. Funny that there isn't any trouble when the slides are coming out. Hmmmm.Thanks in advance,

I assume you can still hear the pump on the slides even after you release the button. If so, I would replace the slide pump switch. The switch is too cheap and important to try and repair.I installed a battery cut off switch that I purchased cheap on Ebay. If I have any stuck switches or 12 volt electric problem, I can quickly cut all power.

Yeah, cut-off switch. Seems like everything stops when I release the switch when the slide is on the way out. Replacing the switch seems like too simple a fix but it's worth a try. I had thought of pulling the switch and "jumping" the circuit to see if I could bypass the switch and make it work. If the temp. is below 110 tomorrow I'll do it and keep you posted. Thanks for the reply.Stan

My unit has a switch on the pump itself. If yours does too then try to use it and see if it does it.

This would tell you if it is the inside switch going bad. My landing gear switch is going bad and I have to wiggle it every once in a while to get the motor to take off.
