When moving the slide outs we started getting intermittent operation on 1 or both. They go out but won't come back or vice versa. I suspected the momentary switch but when one of them wouldn't operate, jumping the switch didn't work. I been scouring the forums and net for schematics and block diagrams for our coach without much luck. But so far if you push the switch four or five times while cursing, then it works. The on/off switch next to the momentary has no volatage. The momentary has 2.3 VDC on it red wire.

Thanks

Sounds like a bad ground wire. At the switch or the motor, take your pick.

Rust - wear and tear - wire could be worn out - 13 years a lot happens if exposed to anything - Last Summer I spent almost all my spare time at the Beach repairing electrical issues.

Get a good multimeter - a box of mixed electrical connectors and a few spools of wire, sounds like the fun might just be starting.

Best of Luck,
