Well I need help again with my slide my friends
:( 2007 Weekend Warrior 2' cargo area slide (cable operated)
Please bare with me as I will attempt to be as descriptive with my issue as I can.
Months ago I had an issue with my slide and upon disassembly I discovered one of the cables had come loose. I reattached the cable, adjusted it as best I could and it was working pretty good. Recently I started to notice that the slide would extend a bit sluggish for the first few inches and then operate normally until it reached its outer limit. Upon retraction it seemed to do OK until the last few inches, where it would slowly close. Also on the close cycle once the slide hit the center roller it seemed to "skip" up as if it was hanging lower than the frame (not sure if this is serious or normal).
Well just yesterday the darn thing would not even move out under its own power without me pushing on it (pretty hard) while my wife operated the button. Upon retraction, it would not mate properly unless I pushed on it with some force. :M
A few things:
I am not an expert and adjusted it as best I could with the instructions someone on this site sent me. Currently the cables are equally tight in the open and closed position (top and bottom)so nothing is blatantly obvious like one loose cable etc.
I am at a loss again with this darn thing. I was wondering if perhaps someone can give me an idea what I may be experiencing or is the motor going bad etc.
Thank you for your help
Frustrated,
Joe
