That system you have sounds very much like the HWH used on mine. You are right; there are check valves that prevent blowing seals, if you don't let up on the switch, when operating the slides, but I cannot see that having anyfhing to do with the motor running/not running, when power is directly applied to the motor
Re the slide hanging up in the front, are there 2 hydraulic rams for that slide? Is the hydraulic fluid in the reservoir up to the full line? (This has to be checked and topped if necessary, wiith jacks up and slides in). The system is self-bleeding, so there shouldn't be air in it. So it seems to be back to something binding the slide, and a bad pump, if it won't run, with 12v right at the motor.
Did you look around carefully to see if anything could have fallen into a place to jam the slide? Do you have a supplied winch to manually crank it in? Can you release the hydraulic valves on the reservoir, and with some help, push the slide?
Missed your thread on tht. I'll look for it. Btw, waay back when I joined, couldn't get captbill, so you know me as captwill there. :)
