Hi all,Just recently purchased 2008 Winnebago access bunk house. Living room slide worked fine over the weekend camping and now will not work. The red parking brake light on the switch panel flashes but the parking brake is set. The rear slide works no problem. Any ideas and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

If you leave the motor running or ignition on they wont work.

The manual for my 07 Winnebago says to keep the engine running while putting out the slide for the added power the alternator provides. I doubt that Winnebago has changed that.Also, note that the second slide he mentions works.To the OP, since the second slide works, it isn't in the parking brake or its switch. It must be in the wiring bringing the parking brake signal to the first slide. That is where I would look.

Thank you. I guess its time to start chasing wires. I tried switching out controllers and its the same deal so I have ruled that out.

I have a 2008 31C Outlook that I have had slide problems with. I have been told the slide motor shuts off when they sense a surge when closing or opening since there is no real on/off switch and therefore are very sensitive. It is stated on the owners manual and emphasized to me by mechanics as well to keep the motorhome engine running while moving the slide in or out. With regards to your particular problem you might consider resetting your slide motors which can be easily done. This allows the front and back slide motors to operate independently so you can be sure they are both closed all the way and in sync.

Thanks for the reply. I have ruled out the switch panel itself. My slides are on to separate switch panels and I swapped them and it was no change. I have chased wires and checked grounds all seems to be good. Any ideas where the control module may be located. I have heard those to give problems as well. Im not sure how to reset the system?? Thanks again. Ill take any help I can get!
