12v power problems

[Big_Jimmy]

2011 tiffin open road 32ca - while camping and living room slide out was out and when trying to retract slide out it had NO power? Once we turned off the 12v system and then turned back on side came in as normal. Anyone know what would cause this? thanks

[Big_Jimmy]

thanks for the great information

Call Tiffin and find out about the reset.

Again - measure the amps to determine if you have excessive draw. And measuring voltage at the motor at the same time will also be helpful.

The problem is your HWH hydraulic pump master solenoid is starting to go bad. Here is a replacement HWH Master Solenoid.
This solenoid mounts directly on the pump motor. While your at it get 2 and replace both solenoids on the motor at the same time to prevent other problems later.

Yes, moves great once the couch 12v power switch is toggled off then on again - that is what I don't understand?

Is it moving now.

[Big_Jimmy]

This is the hydraulic slide.

[lryrob9301]

Is this slide hydraulic or electric operated?

[Big_Jimmy]

Engine is running when retracting slide-out

What is your battery voltage taken off the battery with a volt meter.

[CA_Traveler]

Automatic CBs do just that. Most overheat with excessive amps and take time to cool off and reset. Measure the amps traveling in both directions and if excessive you might have a CB or slide issue or loose wire, low battery, etc. Resolve ASAP.

Maybe a circuit breaker (or similar overload protection circuit); there are some that self-reset by having their power cycled.
