I have a 2005 GB cruise air with 3 slides. Livingroom, kitchen and bedroom.
When bringing in the slides I hold down two switches. When the slide is completely in or out it stops automatically and I let go of the switches. All three slides operate in this manner.
Awhile ago I brought in the bedroom slide and when it reached its limit instead of stopping it sheared the pin. First time in 10 years. Thinking it was an obstruction I had it checked, all good. Replaced the pin (not an easy task as itโs behind the motor). This worked for approx 10 in and outs and once again I sheared the pin. My dad watch the motor that drives the rod and gears as it came in and when it gets to the full out or in position he could actually see it torque.
If I carefully bring in the slid and stop it just prior to it reaching its limit I save the shear pin. But if I donโt stop it quickly enough I break the pin.
This is a picture of the slide out controller. There are two. Iโm assuming 1 operates 2 slides the other 1 slide. (There was a 4 slide option on this MH)
I contacted the company who makes this part and they say it does not control the stopping of the slide. That the motor does using a thermal break.
Now Iโm really confused because my RV person said this module controls the stopping using current.
Any ideas?

This is a picture of the 2nd control module. It appeared to run two of the slides. The other 1 just the single slide.
It has wires in R1R, R1E, AND R2E. in the signal spot. On the wiring diagram these go to the wall switches.
The wires labeled SWITCH go to the ignition lockout. Keeping you from moving the slides out while the MH is running.

Some of the wires looked to have been over heated or are they just discolored.

Just dusty :). They are all in good shape
This is a pic of the wiring Schematic.
