Bedroom slide out has ghosts

[sam-tip]

I have a Model 2008 Tour 40kd. My rear bed room slidout has started extending on its own. It will slowly move out about 3 inches over night. First night I thought I didn't put it in all the way but know I did. Then last night it came out again on it own. What would be pushing it out?

I have an 06 Journey and had a similar problem, until I read the directions on retracting the slide. Next time you cycle the slide in, continue holding the retraction button about 5 seconds after the slide has stopped coming in. This extra time allows the pressures to equalize and should eliminate your slide creep. If it contues to be a problem, you may need a new retraction valve.

Check for red puddles. Could be a hydraulic (hose) leak.

I had this problem on my Journey 30K, the kitchen slide kept creeping back in. It was a bad solenoid on the hydraulic pump. There is a solenoid for retract and extend so it may be your extend solenoid.
