Electrical problems with slides and shades

Watching a movie during a heavy rainstorm and all of a sudden both front slides retracted and all the shades lowered at once. After heart rate slowed down we reset the master power and raised the shades and extended the slides. A few minutes later the same thing. Discovered a trickle of rainwater coming down the wall passing the upper and lower switch panels. Disassembled and dried the panel controlling the slides and the shades. It's now 10PM and I'm going to let everything dry before trying again. Anything else I might try? Cannot find breakers for the slides. Found relays outside compartment on drivers side but no breakers or fuses. Any ideas appreciated.

Resettable fuses for the slides are in the electrical compartment below drivers seat. Pull wires off the front two to stop them coming in. Get the leak fixed prior to putting the switch panels back in the wall or it will happen again.

Along with what Don said, owning a 2014, they used a poor grade of roof sealant. Mine started cracking at 8 months. Check your roof sealant for the leaking problem.

On the roof, check the cable boot for the coax on the bat wing crank up antenna. That is exactly where mine was leaking that shorted out my switches. Hope you got it dry before the water got your switches. If the boot pulled off where the cable enters the roof, a little silicone sealer will keep it in place.
