Slide-out switch buzzing

I have a 2015 Gateway 3750PT. When I went to put the slide-outs out, there was a buzzing sound coming from the panel the switch is on. I pulled the panel off, and the buzzing is actually coming from what appears to be a relay of some kind. Seems if I replace this part, problem fixed. I just can't seem to pinpoint exactly what this part is. I was hoping someone here could help me identify it. The slides still go out and there is no buzzing when putting the slides in.

Are there two of these connected to the same switch. The Slide switch dose not have the current capacity to operate the slider motor load so a heavy duty device like this relay dose the heavy work. I suspect there is onother that operates the motor in the opposite direction.

I only found one in the cabinet right behind the panel. Doesn't mean there isn't another one somewhere. Is there a part I can get online or strictly a dealer type item?

Thanks for the reply!

Seems to me this might the type of question the mfr. might be able to answer. Try this number for Heartland, 574.262.5992, or log onto their site and fill out a support ticket.
