What makes a motor "weak"? I would be very sceptical if I was the owner and was told that about the motor.
Slide motors get "weak" all the time. The armature and windings get overheated and pitted. The ONLY way to verify if you have a PG type motor and want to see if it is weak(Bad)----Connect a good 12 volt power source DIRECTLY to the 2 motor wires at the motor. Then operate in and out. Odds are, if the motor is weak, when you go to retract, the motor will fail to bring the slide UP that first level floor ramp. THAT tells you, you need a new motor. Now, it is CRITICAL to get the exact same model motor. PG makes about 10 to 15 different type motors with HP and RPM's different on all of them. A lot of these replacements look identical. You have to get the spec plate numbers and make sure they match. I have probably replaced 4 or 5 motors that were brand new over the years on Fleetwood PG slides that were replaced by other shops or the customer that did NOT have the correct motor. Doug
