Power Gear Slide-out System is failing
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...

I have a 2003 Fleetwood Flair. Must be quite a difference between yours and mine, as the 120 volt and 12 volt breakers and fuses are located behind a false door below the cook stove next to the fridge. Next to the electrical panel there is a sticker stating that the "slide out room motor control" is mounted behind the electrical panel board. That panel is hinged at the bottom and can be released and swung down to reveal lots of wiring. I found the circuit breakers for the slides hidden under the fridge and kinda accessable through that opening.
While investigating the manual open/retract setup for the bedroom slide, I decided to wire that motor to an easy access point so I could connect a jump box to the motor to bypass all the controls and wiring. This has been tested but never needed. I have found that motors fail less often than breakers.fuses, switches and relays.
You do know that there is a manual way to operate there slides? Labor intensive but a good thing to be aware of.
Good luck with this, keep us informed .. inquiring minds wanna know.
