Help!!! Slideout won't open
I have a 2000 Dolphin 5373. Got to the CG and one of the slides wont open the living room one. I turn the key and nothing, like it not getting any power. Is there a fuse? If so where would I find it? Its always worked fine till now. We are at our 1st stop on a 3 week trip. Not good. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
SR

Most of the MH's in that era had cargo doors that opened upward. To prevent accidental damage to the doors by the slideouts they put interlock switches on the doors so the slideouts would not operate with any door open. Even though the doors may be shut, the switch could be defective or need adjustment. You can use a clip lead to bypass the switch on each door, trying the slideout each time.

OP: Do you have an HWH system? If so, do a search. This subject has been addressed several times last month.

Could I bypass everything and hook 12 volts directly to the motor?

Personally I wouldn’t chance jerry rigging something to get the slide out and take a chance of not getting it back in. Do you need that slide out that bad?

On my motorhome there is a trip switch located at the end of the cylinder shaft to tell the system when the slide is fully closed. Sometime the switch does not close and the slide will not move. I have to go in the storage compartment and manually close the switch while someone inside tries to operate the slide. Don't know if your setup is the same, but just a suggestion.

Manual says something about transit bars. I have never hooked or unhooked any transit bars, where would they be?
Thanks

Manual doesn’t say?
There is almost always an interlock, electrical, mechanical, or both.
Do you hear anything, other than maybe a relay click, when trying to move the slide-out? Maybe your system sheared a drive pin - especially evidenced by if you hear the hum of the drive motor but nothing is happening (and/or your “transit bars” are removed  ).
