slide buttons (04 Beaver) sometimes not working

[FLYING BUTCH]

Hey guys, the buttons on our two front slides seem to have a bad connection or something. Last two times out I have had to repeately push them off and on to get slides to work. We are in Vegas on a trip and worried I might not get them to work. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

It is most likely caused by the relays that the switch activates. I had the same issue on my 03 Diplomat. One slide balked going out and the other balked going in.

On mine the realys were in the right rear compartment on a circuit board. They are plug in and can be purchased at most auto parts stores. They are identical to Bosch relays used for driving lights. I bought 10 of them from www.partexpress.com for <$20.

Replace all of them as the contacts oxidize which causes the intermittant operation.

On my 2004 Signature I had to replace the switches. They are not that expensive and I got them from a local RV dealer. I was trying to leave a RV park and could not bring the slides in. Panic. I kept pressing the switches and they finally worked.
