Wiring on slide out

Sunny Brook 2008 the dining slide has no power to outlets or lights. Any ideas?

    X2!

    Check under the slide for the umbilical that goes in and out with the slide, see if is pinched or broken.

    Loose connection at that outlet or the closest one that isn't working. Most likely connections were made with the push-in contact, fastest way to wire everything. But less reliable IMO. I always use the screw terminals.
  • What rhagfo said . But also check wire nuts in the umbilical cord junction box .
  • Check wires coming out of junction box, mine was pinched and caused short
  • 30 amp or 50 amp service? Failure in one of the legs of the 50 amp connection can take out several plugs, services and one of the air conditioners in your unit.
  • I vote for checking the umbilical, since lights and outlet's are affected, that should be 2 separate systems, 12v DC and 120v ac
