i have the power gear system for jacks and slides. I am currently in campground now. Living room slide is out Bedroom slide is out the galley slide will not go out. the living room slide will not come in. The bedroom slide moves in and out no problem.

Checked all breakers are OK when we try to retract the living room slide it will not come in and the galley slide will not go out I am getting a click sound by the master cylinder and motor area when the switches are activated to move these slides.
Can anyone make any suggestions what to check or do from here?

Just a thought! Could be a voltage problem whereby one of more of the systems isn't getting a good ground. First thing I'd check is the cable connections all the way to the battery, to be sure they aren't loose or dirty.

Did you try running the engine and trying the slides?

Wish I could give you a fix, but without being there it's awfully hard to diagnosis a problem like yours.

Please let us all know what actually corrects the problem in case anyone else runs into it.

Make certain the drivers seat is in the most forward position. You should be able to run the engine on the Power Gear system and it is recommended you do to keep the voltage up. You could have a bad switch that controls that slideout; they have been notorious for failing. Are you able to troubleshoot a DPDT switch? IF so let us know what you find.

Thanks for the help I found the problem with one on the breakers I had not reset. I thought I had checked them all and missed one. Now I have to listen to the other half for the next week as she kept asking "are you sure you checked them all?"

Apparently the correct answer would have been no I am not sure.

It's a man thing I know.

Thanks again for the replies.
