![]() If you disengage that lock switch you should be able to put a 3/4 inch wrench/ratchet on the nut to move the slide. Your manual should state whether to turn the lock switch left or right to engage the lock. The lock switch on the motor is a little lever that keeps the motor from free wheeling. On my motors there is a 3/4 inch nut and also on the motor is a "lock" switch. Mine are Kwikee but like stated all owned by Lippert now. ![]() I have electric motors also that look identical to yours. ![]() NOTE! depending on what shift and the person installing the wiring - this location can vary.ĭifferent coach but my slide controllers are behind a panel that holds my cable/sat input in one of the bays. There has to be some relays hidden somewhere along with a bigger fused circuit to feed the required 20 amps to the slide motor.Ī call to the coach technical help line requesting information on the location of the relays might help. The slide should extend if you place the wiring as it was to extend the slide, Did it work ? Is so then have a helper press the retract switch and with no noise in or out side the coach listen for a clicking sound each time the button is pressed. (If one connection comes loose from the coil circuit of one of them the whole system is locked up) like you have described !!! Builders do not mount the wiring in most cases and the wires hang down from the mounted relays and they come loose as the coach bounces down the road ! It is not uncommon for the control relays to be hidden in a wall. Is the bathroom wall between the slide in question? or some other space/wall at one end of the slide. (They do not fail often) The setup should have 2 high current relays - one for the extend and one for the retract function. Magnetic switches are very commonly used for the sensor circuits stop point. One to power the slide in and one to power the slide out. input to the common point of the repay pictured is pictured but that power should come from a larger fused supply with the key switch only controlling the relay coils of the in and out relays / with a limit switch to stop the slideout travel and to stop the slide at a in or park point. Missing a circuit to supply power to slideroom motor.The drawing pictures one relay to power the in and out voltage to the motor- there are 2 power relays. Mike, the drawing is OK, But very simplified - not a true drawing of how the wiring is installed ! Any thoughts on how to trouble shoot the electrical problem now that the slide out will not extend? Is this problem best done by RV Masters or some other repair shop in Houston?ġ) Front of Control Panel / 2) Back of Control Panel with wires disconnected from "Pass Front" button / 3) New Slide Out Motor with Yellow and Green Power Supply Wires "Reversed" / 4) Slide Out Wiring Diagram / 5) Battery Control Center I'm and the young repair techs are perplexed why this one slide would not retract while the other two slides have no problems.īelow are photos of the motor, the control panel with push buttons (front and back), the battery control center, and wiring diagram for the slide outs. With the power supply wires "reversed", the slide will now not extend. To get back home to Katy, the power supply wires to the motor were "reversed" so the slide could be retracted so I could drive home to Katy, TX. The two young mobile repair techs were now perplexed and did not have the skill to trouble-shoot the electrical issue. Again, there was no power to the stuck slide when the "In" was pushed. Finding an apparent electrical button, the control panel was removed and the wires for the stuck slide were placed on another slide "in/out" button. There was no power to the motor when the "in" side of the button was pushed. We found that power to the motor existed only when the "out" part of the slide's in/out button was pushed. ![]() The "square rods" connected to the motor were detached to assure the new motor was functioning. After the new motor was installed, the slide still would not retract. ![]() I was able to find a new replacement motor (KMG - Klauber Machine Group) from a dealer in Lafayette and found a mobile RV repair company that would work on a Saturday. After calling a couple of Lake Charles RV repair shops, the initial thought was the slide motor had quit working. My trip to Baton Rouge for LSU football this past weekend went to heck when my passenger side slide would not retract (we stayed Thursday night in Lake Charles, LA to visit my son's family). ![]()
