Bedroom slide cable

The cable on one side of the lower slide seems to have come off its pulley. When the slide is pulled in, the one cable has no tension, it's completely slack.
I don't see where to access any of the pulley mechanisms. I'm guessing you have to take off all the fascia to get to pulleys. Is it a job I can do or do I have to take it to a repair shop?
Thanks
Bill

You probably will need to remove the fascia to be able to adequately see what is going on. Try moving the slide out until you only have about 2 feet left in the coach, that way you can easily reach the cables and pulleys then determine if it has actually jumped a pulley or just needs to be adjusted.

You'll need an 18ga brad nailer and 1" brads to replace the fascia when done. You can do it.
