I own a 2006 36' National Dolphin RV model #5355 Workhorse Chassis. My Lounge slide is operating very slowly and I am concerned that it might remain stuck in the fully extended position when camping. My manual addresses that situation and states that the slider "wiring harness" must be pulled out to stop the power to the slider motor prior to manually wrenching the slide in (with a 5/8 socket). But the actual electrical panel looks nothing like the diagram in the operator's manual (which actually shows a wiring harness plug) and nothing like the diagram posted on the cover to the electrical panel (attached picture). So I really have no idea what I pull out or whether it's a wiring harness or a relay. I have uploaded pictures of the actual panel and also the diagrams I am referring to. You'll notice one small ray of hope is that in the upper left corner of the diagram it does reference "slide room power"....but the line from it goes to what looks like a bolt head that says "Power Feed." Any suggestions as to where the relay plug or wiring harness that I need to pull out to cut the power to the slide motor would be appreciated. I'm reluctant to just start pulling things to find out.

Thanks to Tahiti 16 and Tech Writer. I just assumed that the wires were hard wired into the slide motor but thanks to your advice, I did locate a wire harness/male-female connector coming off the motor. I got a 24”extension pipe for my 1/4” ratchet wrench ( 5/8 socket) and started test cranking. I feel much more comfortable now knowing that if the slide does get stuck in a campground that I have a way to crank it in. Thanks again.
