Haunted Slide!!

Joking aside, we were watching TV and the opposite slide retracted by itself! It has been raining, so we suspect a short, but not sure what might have shorted! We were unable to retract the slide afterward, although the voice module did activate. We have the newer switches that you must hold down. Hubby reversed wiring to test switches but both acted in same manner.

Have you ever experienced this? If so, what did you do to rectify the issue? We are in upper Wisconsin and may take a trip to Newmar to have this looked at, but sure would like to solve the problem on our own.

Thanks in advance for your help!

So is it now in or out? May want to try switching a similar module.
