Slide out control

I'll try again since the basic question is still; does anyone know what is the normal method for detecting the position of the slide-out especially the IN position. From what I have already described, there is obviously a lock-out in play here that prevents starting when the control perceives a condition of slide out. Again, the slide is not out, in fact, it is in and manual locks are in place. I want to troubleshoot this issue and would like a place to start. I have opened the slide-out control box. Some relays, integrated circuit components, etc. I don't see any obvious adjustment pots. The control was made for HR by Todd Engineering, but a quick internet search shows no commercial product they sell for RV slide-outs. If nothing turns up here, I may try to contact them and see if anybody has a clue.

THAT was my point in my post. I have 34 years as a RV Tech (Master Certified) and have worked on and FIXED hundreds and hundreds of slide out systems on almost all makes. I cannot remember when I had a slide system that caused the Chassis engine to not start because of some so-called safety interlock. There may be such a OEM system, but I have never seen it. If Monaco cannot help you, then you will be hard pressed to find anyone to help you. Can you take a pic of that Todd Engineering module? Todd was known for Transfer Boxes and Power Converters in the RV industry and never about slide controls. The Newmar RV's use a magnetic switch on the rack/pinion to detect when the room is closed or open and this is just for the Automatic electric lock arms and not about engine control. Doug
