Slide out failure

2008 Sightseer 35J. FLS DigiSynch Rom Slide Mechanism from Kwikee Products.

Front Slide is dead. Worked fine yesterday. Rear slide works perfect.

No lights at the panel for the front slide (rear panel perfect). No sounds. Nothing. Cannot do diagnostics or override because no power at the panel. Have checked the circuit breakers per the manual. All OK. Parking brake is down. Engine running for power (there's plenty of power for the rear slide).

Ideas? Guess I'm looking at Plan B and manually cranking the mother in and getting a mobile repair guy at the next campground unless one of you folks has an inspiration. Never manually cranked...sounds like fun.

Thanks in advance.

    It's in a hatch in a compartment above the propane tank. Checked it. It is good. Power Gear sent me a touchpad schematic to check out. Rig is in the shop auto shop for preventive maint so I'll have to wait to try that. Since it is now in the shop, I obviously did Plan B and cranked the slide in. It was easier that I thought it would be. Any and all suggestions welcome.

  • Thanks Rick. I always have the engine running when moving the slides so that's not it...but I checked anyway...ya never know.;) I at least found out how to manually crank it so Plan B is always there.
  • My last rv the front slidea would not come in with the key on. Just to be safe I'd pull the key totally out and try it.
