Phaeton slide creeps out

[larrysplace]

I have a 2009 Phaeton. The drivers side slide creeps out at the bottom after closing the slide. is there and adjustment or do I need a new motor?

I had that problem (twice) with my Fleetwood Providence. My problem turned out to be the lock on the motor. If yours has the same lock, when your slide is closed, crawl under it and look at the rear of the motor, if there is a rubber boot on the working end, feel the lock inside the boot (you don't have to remove the boot). It should press one way or the other. Just press the lock, if it moves, then you have just locked the gears on the motor. It should stay locked. But if it slides out again, you need to try to lock it again. If it keeps on sliding out, then there is a problem with the lock. Mine hasn't moved, since the last time I did this.

I have a 2008 Pheaton that had that same problem. Their are 2 types of electric motors that may be on your unit on has a mechanical brake the other an electric. If it has a mechanical you can tell by looking at the motor if so just reset it. If it does not have a mechanical your electric brake is broken the replacement motor is 1-76985-D300 cost $595.00 plus labor 2 hours. I had mine replaced in August 2011.
