FWIW, I have spent tons of time on a top to bottom scavenger hunt (even using a remote camera) trying to find my ‘ supposed slide controller’ with the same momentary switch with no luck whatsoever...Former Camper manufacture (now defunct) POC employee had no idea either...On an older thread I can recall one seemingly knowledgable individual say that his camper’s same maker PowerGear Slide-out set-up had no such controller... So far, no troubles for me (fingers crossed) but I’m still in the dark...

Did same thing when my controller totally failed.
So cut the wires to the motor and built a "Manual" controller (no over current protection)
Finally got a cable tracker from harbor Freight hooked the transmitter to the leads from the controller and followed the cable bundle with the wand till I found the @#$@#)(($*@# COntroller.
On my rig it was in the basement. on the cealing in the Front end of the FRONT most compartment under the slide.. Logically it should have been ... farther back.
