Slide won't open

[Buztan99]

I recently purchased a 2005 Fleetwood Revolution 40C with two slides. I was told the front slide received a new controller board before it was delivered to me. For a week, the slide opened and closed without problem.
Now it is closed and will not open.
I tracked the problem area to the battery wire leading into the slide's controller board. It has no power to it (the rear slide's controller board has power and operates fine).
I checked the breakers and small fuse panel under the master bed and checked every fuse in the main fues block under the drivers cab. They all work correctly.
Is there an inline fuse, relay, or something else I'm missing here?

Hello and . We are glad to have you join us here and we look forward to reading of your adventures and experiences. I am sure you will enjoy the website and forums. Good luck, stay safe and keep us posted. Go to the Battery Control Center (black plastic box in electrical compartment) and check circuit breaker for slide out. If OK, then check in line fuses in same area.

When you say electrical center, I believe you are referencing the area in the storage compartment under the driver that has a series of fuses, relays and electrical wiring that leads throughout the coach. In this compartment is a chart that shows what each fuse, relay is for. Nothing references a slide. So maybe there is another are on the coach that has the control center you are referencing. Are you saying it is within the coach battery compartment, or somewhere else? (the only trippable breakers are mounted to the master bed - non are tripped).

Thanks.

No, the BCC is usually in the compartment that your power cord and inverter are located in.

On the '05 Revolution, the power cord is in a storage bin by itself and along with the rear slide's controller board. The inverter is on the opposite side of the coach. I have checked both locations for a set of breakers/fuses; no luck yet.

Thanks again.

Depending on the floor plans as well, I have seen them put things in different places. You might want to call Fleetwood and ask where they put it, but it is on there. It is a black plastic box about 8" square and 4" deep, with a snap off cover. Good luck.

In the black plastic box, will I find resettable breaker switches, or will it be fuses that need to be replaced?

[RV Wizard]

There are both ATC fuses and resettable circuit breakers in the BCC.

A little embarrasing, but it was a fuse.

[RV Wizard]

Glad to hear it was a fuse. Don't be embarrassed; just think of it as a learning experience. I discover something new at least once everyday.

Talk about being embarrassed.... on my last trip, my bedroom slide wouldn't go out. I searched all over for a breaker or a fuse. Couldn't find one for the slide. I called a mobile service guy who came out the next day, found the blown fuse, charged me $180.00 and drove away! He did give me a couple of extra fuses though (free of charge). I certainly learned something that day.
