Our 2006 Damon has an ignition interlock for both the TV and the slide.
I have never had this problem before so have no experience but my time be coming so your post holds a special interest for me.
As with all electrical problems start with the basics. Check all the fuses. Clean the battery connections. You could maybe try disconnecting the chassis battery under the hood and see if it will operate on the coach battery.
I read a trouble shooting article from a slide manufacturer once that said 90% of all slide and leveler problems are due to a bad ground. Check all the grounds.
Our slide has a key in the panel with the tank gauges that has to be in the on position for the slides to work. Try wiggling the key while holding the slide button, try the same with the ignition key.
That's why we love motorhomes so much, no end to the tinkering.
Keep trying every connection possible. If you can diagnose the problem before you go to the repair shop you can save yourself hours of billable shop time.
Please update your post when you find the problem.
Good luck!
