My hybrid 2006 StarCraft 21 SSO camper has a side slideout.
The switch to put out the slide seems tempermental.
I had the switch tested and it is good.
Fuses all good.
Sometimes I press the button and nothing.
I wait a while try again and it works.
I had to go as far as unhooking the battery and then it worked after I hooked it back up.
Ideas?
Some old fashion diagnostics I have learned over the yrs, you say the switch was tested and sometimes when you press it on nothing happens, at that time try hitting/tapping the switch. I have found that contacts sometimes inside switches will hang up. If slide starts to move while doing this, it will prove the switch is NG and needs to be replaced.
In addition, if switch is on and and still nothing is happing go to next step, try tapping/moving the slide motor wire harness, could have a loose connection there. If your handy with a meter, test for voltage.
Good luck,
Mike
