I have a 2006 Discovery 39L (4 slide) the bedroom slide on the passanger side goes out all the way @ the bottom but the top still needs to go out about 1 or 2 inches. Its like it wont seat in the out position. I checked behind the drawers With a light and a miror to see it a shoe or somethong got lost back there but I see no obstruction. We just bought the coach and didnt notice it when we got it from the individuals. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

Could be a bolt or screw worked out on the backside. You may have to take the molding off to see the problem. If there is no obstruction you should be able to use some pushing force as the slide is opening and get the top to seat.

The weight of the slide falling out helps close the top. It sounds like you check for things on the sides how about the top.

Thanks for your suggestions. I've checked the top and no obstructions. Also got a mirror and light and checked top and bottom and again no obstructions. It still wont go out all the way--laks about 1 to 2 inches. If you look outside it is obvious as the top is leaning inward just a bit and then the inside has about 2 inches gap at the top inside the bedroom wall from going out all the way.

Welcome to IRV2. If they are Power Gear, I would email them. Their techs are very good and very quick to respond. Their address is info@powergearus.com.

Good luck and please update us when you can.

I am not having that exact problem but i must push on that slide to help get it out. Have looked for the motor and as was said you must pull the bottom molding off. Have not done this yet. If you get around to doing that let us know how you make out.

Many Power Gear motors are programmed and at times need to be programmed again. Read the Power Gear manual this AM. Google up, power gear instruction manual, most PDF models are listed. Just a suggestion!

Thanks, I'll read futher in the manuel and let youall know when I get it figured out.
Again Thanks

Here are two manuals that I've used over the years.

I'm not familiar with " reprogramming "a PG motor.

Can you post a link to that procedure?

Thanks

Cliff,

Google, Power Gear Full Wall Slide Tech Manual. Go to chapter, service/installation manual full wall slide systems/teaching control/ "fullwallinstallservice82-SO0379.ai

I don't know if this info applies to all slides, but in reading literature, it appears to encompass most or all newer slide motors with control systems?

**CLIFFTALL** · 10-03-2012, 08:15 AM

Thanks Clay. Here is that document. http://support.powergearus.com/techdocs/82-S0379.pdf . I don't pretend to understand it but thought others would like to see it. Thanks

Cliff

Thanks for posting the doc. Yep, I don't even pretend to understand the instructions, nor IMHO would 95 percent of qualified RIVA techs! Oh we'll at least it is a go too should the need arise and it explains the manual wrenching in for the four dc motors on the wall slide. Bet that would be fun!! LOL!
