Whoa! I just hauled my Fleetwood Flair 2004 down for new tires, getting ready for a major trip. Got back and went to open the slides and 'nothing' - I can't find the controller for the slides. The boo...

Then why does it operate the levelers? I will see if I can get the voltage up but that is the first thing I checked. Though the 10.6 does bother me, it is on the mains way in the back - to get it down that far suggests a load somewhere. I will try to check them with the engine running - if it stays there, something is wrong. But the slides should take their power from the front stuff nearer the battery I would think, but I can't find any controller to check for voltage. I am fairly certain that no voltage is getting to the motors at all but I'll try to check that too
The battery was dead when I pulled it out of storage - it wouldn't recharge, so I replaced it. It starts the engine fine, but I think I will reseat a few grounds and other connections.
