Schwintek slide - how to access motor / harness on 2011 unit
I'm getting an error code of 8.2 on my bedroom slide Schwintek controller: Hall effect signal not being received from motor two. Result is that the slide rear moves fine but front moves a couple of inches then stops. Fortunately the manual / electronic override works fine so I can move the slide in / out if I have to (so no mechanical jam in the mechanism). The debug chart says this is usually a wiring problem.
I know there are several videos on YouTube showing how to access the motor from inside the rig. Unfortunately, that appears to be an innovation made after mine was built. To access the wiring, I thought I'd be able to remove a piece of metal 'trim' that's screwed to the exterior wall of my rig, but that 'trim' appears to be the actual mounting for the Schwintek mechanism (the bearing blocks are riveted to it).
I'm trying to do a continuity check on the harness as LCI has advised that's the next step in the debug process. From the outside I can see the wires that go into the motor but can't reach the connector.
I think I have to push the Schwintek mount out a couple of inches to access the wiring and the motor. This sounds a bit scary to me. LCI wouldn't confirm this. They said "We didn't install it in your rig - you have to call the manufacturer".
Has anybody done this? Any other helpful suggestions?
I've had my Voltage 3950 since it was new and this is the first time since PDI that the slides have acted up.
