Well here is the deal.
Jayco had 2 guys come out from a mobile mechanic place. They traveled 90 miles to get here in ft Stockton Tx.
They had to tear the entire unit out to fix a loose net that the motor spins to actuate the slide.
Jayco said you should not drive the slides till they click as it is hard on the clutch. The slide just uses a bellville washer that when the motor loads up slips and makes noise. Jayco said mark the floor or get good at stopped the slides before the clutch engages.
I've had jaycos since 1998 and this is news to me and I hope for you also.

Northwood did tell me that this little device, the resettable breaker/fuse, did stop the slide on the out and inward movements. If the information presented in some of the earlier posts here saying that this fuse should not be the main "stopper" of the slide movement, then where is the breaker/switch that is supposed to do this? Northwood gave me no indication of a switch being located at any other place.

I now always try and stop the slide just prior to its' maximum movement either in or out just to prevent the fuse from having to stop it. Sounds like there should be a better "mousetrap" for this operation.

I had a similar issue when the slide failed to stop when extending outward and busted a little of the trim before my wife could release the button...don't know how far out it would have gone. But, after checking with Northwood, we decided the culprit was something called a "resettable fuse" that was not sensing the added voltage draw at the end of the slide extension and allowing the slide to continue to be pushed out.
I located this little fuse in a box beneath the bed, found another replacement, and now all works well. But each time the slide is either sent out or withdrawn I am VERY alert to watching for the "end of travel" positions and making certain it stops at the proper position.
This small "resettable fuse/breaker" can, and will, cause a fellow a lot of anxiety if it fails. It is located at different locations depending on the unit.
