On my Schwintek that wouldn't extend I used the manual override process to energize the motors. It should be described in your manual - the process for my slide was to depress the button in the controller (likely located somewhere in or on your bed frame) 6 times and then depress and hold on the 7th time until the lights begin quick flashing - then use the normal slide operation switch as you need.
This is the same process for retracting a non-functioning slide MINUS the disengagement of the motors. If this works recommend you retract and extend the slide 3 times to get the motors to retime/synch themselves. If it does not work its beginning to sound like a motor is bad/disconnected (which you're already working on). Let us know what works - we all learn ...

Unless something changes my next step would be to go to CRB and get it repaired. I also have concerns about my other slide. I don't have any faith in any of the local TV shops. It is less than 400 miles away.

Should be worth a phone call to Tiffin on this issue. Winnebago and Schwintek are repairing many of these slides out-of-warranty on our Winnebago/Itasca rigs due to the volume of issues - Tiffin may be your advocate to get the repair done similarly.
There are YouTube videos that describe how to disengage the Schwintek motors - they appear doable for an average DIY guy like me. I haven't done it personally so unable to offer other comments. Good luck ...

No problem to get that slide out. I had to do it with our full wall slide when we were on the road. Get a length of 4 inch plastic pipe cut to the length of the slide and the other side of the coach. Allow enough room for the scissors jack out of your car and a 2 x 4 on each end. Screw the jack out and the slide should break loose and you should be able to move it almost the whole way just by pushing on it.

I actually was afraid of that,,,, The pipe needs to be held horizontally, against the wall that won't go out. You may need help with this but I was able to manage with a bit of duct tape in critical positions. The bottom of the jack goes against the end of the pipe. On our coach, the opposing slide had a wall directly across from the slide wall that would not work. The top of the jack went against the opposing wall, with a 2x4 on the wall to prevent damage, then simply start screwing the jack up. The slide should break loose and in our case, the wife ran the slide control and ran the slide out with the other motor that worked while I pushed the non working end out.There is also a rather easy way to get it back in but lets see if you can get it out first. I know this sounds a bit of a PITA, but when you are in the middle of nowhere and the slides won't move,,, you better have some type of plan. Towels against the woodwork will protect them.
