We had a problem with our slide - here's a copy/paste/modify of a post I made last year on it...
We had a problem with ours coming in on its own with the parking brake set, so it was moving but obviously something was wrong. DH talked with both Winnebago then Kwikee. We started with replacing the switch (the cheapest fix), which didn't do the trick. Then on to the control module. Since our year didn't have a key shutoff we added a switched 40 amp cutoff switch. The combination of these two has done the trick for us...the power switch alone keeps us from ever seeing it happen again, so it is hard to say with certainty that the control module replacement fixed it.
The problem seems to be that the slide control (at least on ours) is in one of the storage hatches, which are those nice blow mold water-tight areas. But a bit of moisture in there will stay in there and we tend to think that the humidity in there played into our problem.
I wonder if you're seeing a problem because of moisture as well?
Best of luck!
