2014 Phaeton hydraulics won’t work

I was preparing to break camp and the hydraulic slides won’t budge. Ignition is in accessory mode, also started diesel and still won’t work. No puddles or hydraulic fluid. Looked for but did not find fuse for hydraulics. No noise or movement of slides. Feels like some sort of electrical failure. ‘

Any recommendations would be appreciated. 2014 42LH all electric.

Check all the circuit breakers. I think there is a trick to turn ignition off/on without starting 3 times in a row to do a reset of some kind.

Find the HWH hydraulic pump and motor assembly in one of your bays, usually the passenger side second bay with the propane tank. On the top of the motor are two electrical solenoids. Take a heavy piece of electrical wire and while some one activates the "in switch" you jump across the large electrical terminals on the left master solenoid. The slide should start to move in while the contacts are being jumped.

As Ilkrob said there are two solenoids on the motor. One of them is the main power solenoid that is activated with the key switch and the other is the motor solenoid. Check to see if you have power through the main solenoid. If not, then it could be a problem with the interlock switch on the parking brake. The system has to see that the parking brake is set before it will allow the hydraulics to operate.
