Slide won't go out, 2000. , Intruder. ,fixed!!

FIXED My living room/dinning room slide won't go out.
It is a powergear. Two new Interstate batteries installed, fully charged.
Can hear clicking when switch is activated. How do I manually open slide, for access to motor. I don't have a manual.
Anyone that has worked on the large, Power gear slide, I would your like help!
Thank you,
Chuck

It was 30amp breaker in BCC. Batteries were not charging, low voltage.

Thanks for all the help!!

    Mine won't deploy slides, with engine running.
    It is charging now. Will try later.

    Thanks,
    Chuck

    I have a 2001 Damon Challenger same size. Had problem with bedroom slide one time. It was a small 25a fuse next to the motor under the bed. Before I had the fuse I ran it out manually. I also have been able to move it by disconnecting the slide motor and and hooking the wires to a battery booster. My kitchen slide motor is accessible from the basement.

    Engine running for power gear is generally required as they suck a lot of juice. On my winnebago vista I can get one out without running engine and then not enough juice left. I always run the engine and that is recommended in the manual. The clicking says not enough juice I think. Your emergency brake is set otherwise you would get nothing. So fire up the engine and let us know.

    I would try charging those batteries...12.7 is lower than I would expect from fully charged batteries. I'm not familiar with your setup but an internet search for the manual should yield results.
