Help, no power to slideouts.
The last time that I used the slideouts, I had to flip the 12v disconnect rocker switch on the panel just inside the doorway to get them to work. I thought maybe I had bumped the switch prior to that ...

The suggestion about a power controller for all three slides makes sense to me. I will start looking around for that. Not sure about solenoids. The ones that I have found near the inverter appear to be for connecting coach and chassis batteries, but there are more than a couple of them, so I'll look for one labeled slides as this motorhome seems to have labels on 90% of the wires and fuse panels.
are the slides electric or hydraulic?they operate differently
I assume as all three slides don't operate I stand by my suggestion is a 12V supply problem.There will be a slide solenoid for sure,circut breakers to each slide and fuse to each slide
some HWH etc Hydralic slides have a controller but and I repeat as all your slides quit LOOK FOR A COMMON denominater
The slides are electric. In the bay where the inverter is, there is a couple of solenoids and a"coil" that has a wire going to a circuit breaker labeled slides. The coil is only hot on one side. I hooked up a jumper wire to both poles of the coil and now have power to the circuit breakers that power each slideout. I am now assuming that this "coil is bad and is the culprit. It says 12v dc cont. on it, so I am assuming both poles should have power to them continuously. Is that correct?
Thanks for the helpful suggestions, bigdisplay
