99 Adventure Slide is Dead

[winniman]

For what it is worth, when I bought my current rv the jacks didn't work. On closer inspection we found that the previous owner had blown the fuse on the slide circuit. Since they couldn't find the fuse, they just disconnected the power from the jacks circuit, and rerouted it to the slides. We found the fuse. It was in a hidden fuse box behind a panel that was below the cupholders in the middle of the cab. We rewired everything back to original, replaced the fuse, and all was well. Why someone would hide a fuse panel in such a place is beyond me.

That is my concern right now. Missing something because of an obscure location.

Ford or Chevy Chassis? On my 2000 Adventurer Workhorse Chassis the slide only works with the actual parking brake button pulled out. The auto park will engage normally when put in park and the jacks will deploy fine, but the slide needs the button pulled out. Hope it's this simple.

On my '98 PA Vision Ford V8, there is a 50 amp circuit breaker in the coach battery compartment that feeds the slides. Eddie Elk.

Thanks to all that replied. It was a simple fix once I found it. There was another fuse hidden in the harness bundle at the back and the contacts in the holder where corroded.

Nice. Thanks for sharing the fix.
