Hi to all. On my 2006 Kountry Star 3778 gas Class A coming out from winterization and moving the coach around house from one side to the other most went well. Leveled out unit and put out rear bedroom slide OK. Went to put out main slide behind drivers seat and got nothing, no little lady warning about all the stuff the slide could hit. Tried to put in bedroom slide and it's a no go. Confirmed the slideout ign lockout fuse is good (metered) in fuse panel above steering wheel. Confirmed that power works on both sides of main slide in out rocker switch above doorway. Found voice control module
behind panel with only two wires attached to it marked as slide motor wires.
My main question , is where is the main slide out circuit board controller located as I can't find it. What I'm I missing that is common to both slides. BTW the rear bedroom slide wants to go out but not come back in. Help please ...

I had a similar problem and went nuts searching the net for help. I did find the controls--they were on the bottom of the main slide on the passenger side. You have to view them from the basement compartment. My real help actually came from Rick in Customer Service at Newmar. He walked me though how to reset my controller so I could get my slide back in.

Sense it's been sitting awhile are the batteries charged? Did you connect to shore power or start generator?

Good points, yes to both, on 50A shore power and tried on gen power also. The lady still won't talk to me. Maybe a ground problem but I have not found all of them especially the master ground point that I've read about.

Not sure about a gasser but my slide controllers (4 slides, 4 controllers) are mounted on the vehicle frame rails ... 2 on each side of vehicle .... accessible from baggage compartments. I do not have a "single" ground. I have multiple grounds. Some are near the starter.

Went looking all over for a printed circuit board slide controllers, none to be found, traced motor wiring back and got into big bundle of wires that ended up in a bank of six 40 amp relays beside fresh water tank drain. All relays were coated in green slime and dull contacts. Replaced all relays and the lady talks again. Both slides now working correctly. Thanks for your help.
