Front Slides do not come in

[SegwayGuy]

Having a little bit of trouble before we leave for a trip on Friday.

The front two slide outs are not moving for some reason. I checked all of the documentation and I've done everything it says.

Make sure nothing is inhibiting the slides
start the engine and bring the coach to ride height then turn off the engine because the slide outs don't work with the key in.

I checked the motor brake switches underneath each slide out.

I checked the slide out motor breaker in the front under the driver seat.

They don't seem to have any power. The batteries are fully charged and the inverter is on.

What's weird is the bedroom slide-out works fine.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

The controller for my front slide is in the rear passenger side electrical bay. There is a 5 amp fuse that will blow, its done it on mine ~3 times. No idea why fuse blows but I just replace and all is good.

The other thing may be that one of your basement doors in not fully closed. There is an inhibitor switch for each door and if it senses that the door is not open it won't let the slide work. One of my doors will cause the slide not to come in, go out and open and slam the door and the slide works.

What model do you have? I checked that fuse, I think. Mine is in the front electrical panel outside under the driver seat. It's some sorry of slide motor "cutoff" fuse.

My main shutoffs and electrical equipment are located in another panel, passenger side, rear. But I isn't see anything in there labeled slide out.

I have 2 of these controllers.

One is in the front drivers side electrical bay, it is for the generator slide. I have not had a problem with part of the generator slide.

The second one is in the rear passenger side electrical bay (right behind the batteries), lower left hand side. There is a label for it printed and attached to the door. Previous owner also much have had a problem with it because when I first bought coach there was a spare fuse shoved between the wires, that's what brought my attention to it.

Outstanding. I found it. Thank you.
Where did you find a replacement fuse like this?

[jacwjames]

Mine takes a standard large auto blade type fuse.

[SegwayGuy]

Hmm this one looks very different than that but the blades are the same. Here's a picture of mine.

That's a circuit breaker type fuse, any auto shop should carry them. Did you check the 5 amp fuse, that's the one that blows on mine, never had to replace the one your showing.

That's what was in the 5amp slot.

I also pulled the main slide relay. Looks like this:

Looks like a relay to me.

I'm going to grab both before we hit the road. Can't roll with the slides open. LoL

I swapped out a couple fuses and I don't think it's this one. I put a standard blade fuse in that slot and tested the 5:00 amp and the 25 amp still nothing in the front two slide outs.

The back one works.

I also called multiple auto parts stores and even the Napa Warehouse didn't have that special Auto reset fuse.

I sure hope somebody has another idea. I can manually bring in the smaller slide out in the front but I'm not sure if I can do the bigger one by hand.

[jacwjames]

If you have a 2nd slide out module like this mounted in the front drivers side run bay you could try swapping and see if that solves the problem. My front controls the generator slideout but has the same number on it.



Have you've checked the inhibitor switches on your basement doors, you can bypass these by taking the wires off and connecting them together which will close the loop. One of mine causes me a problem where I have to slam the doors to get it close contact.

On my 2001 Scepter the problem was a bad relay.
