the problem was fixed about an hour ago. first ty catusjuice (thor site) sending me in the right direction .( hell you took my hand and lead me there) once i was told the 30vdc wire(orange #30) was always on, and i knew the rest of the wires were good to go. i first ran a temp. wire from the orange to 12vdc and tested the slide. bingo it works! i started tracing the orange wire back. turns out the orange wire spliced with another orange wire and both ended inside the dc panel box under the bed. the fuse was labeled lp detector. Not lp detector/ slide. just lp detector. turns out this lp detector went bad over the winter and i removed the fuse to silence the alarm. couple of days ago was the first time i tried to open the slide this year. so if anyone else has a thor and is having this problem i would check that wire out first. your orange wire could be spliced with another circuit too. by the way it is a 5 amp fuse. there is a 30 amp fuse in the dc panel box which labeled slide, this is the power for the 2 motors for the slide. ty to everyone else that contributed too. tim
