2005 Georgie Boy Landau rear slideout will not retract
We bought a 2005 Georgie Boy Landau 2450DS last October and it's been nothing but a headache. It only had 11,477 miles on it, but the previous owner was a real nut job who wired up so many external connections, without shielding or insulating the connectors that things just shorted out. I gutted all that right away and after replacing the front end, fixing the AC and replacing the patched up fuel pump (someone glued the plastic fitting on the return line), which failed on our cross country trip. After we got it fixed, I drove up to Evanston, WY to pick it up. Unfortunately, the rear slide out would not retract. The mechanic jumpered out the ground with chassis ground and the slide out smoothly slid into place. I have since tried the same technique, with limited success.
Does anyone know where the controls are for the slideouts on the Landau? If so, does anyone have a schematic of the wiring harness and know where the likely grounding issue might be located? I am also looking for a replacement manual cranking rod that was not on the vehicle when we bought it.
