I've been in the background for a while now; and now need some help!!
The auto locks on the drivers side slide are not engaging; everything seems to work with the exception of the locks.
Any ideas out there? Any info is appreciated. Thanks

Here is the only thread I can find about your problem. Seems that the magnets in switch need a little nudging to reset. Check fusing if you hear no noise from them if other slide locks work ok may have seperate fusing for each slide.
There was a problem of water getting into slide locks when slides were open you may need some lube to free lock up to operate.

I had the exact same thing happen to my drivers side bed room slide. The dealer replaced the slide controller, fixed the problem. Have another problem in that the living room drivers slide locks go out when the slide is extended. Same dealer has worked on it 4 times now including adjusting the proximity and not sure what else as well as replace the slide controller and the locks still extend. Dealer tech's through up there hands and said they dod not know what else to do. Locks still extend when slide is out.

Had same problem with lock arms and it was the controller. Try switching wires with another controller on your unit and see if they work then. I also have the lock arms deploy occassionally when the slide is all the way out. It's usually just after I have had the battery disconnect switch off then turn it back on. It seems to confuse the controller when to deploy the lock arms. Usually bringing the slide back in and then out again solves this problem. Three years ago while at the factory the techs advised it was a common problem and that "they all do it".

After hearing this, I am glad I saved $4,000.00 and have the manual locks! I too had one of the controllers go out on the front street side slide, it must be a weak link.
