‘03 Allegro Bus slide died

I have just a single Power Gear slide, electric rack and pinion. Have power past the engine running relay and the breakers. Slide is in and won’t extend. Can’t find the Relay Control or Current Limiter Control (according to the manual, it should have one or the other). Traced the wires from the motor into a 1 1/2” wire loom where they disappear. I’m not sure where to head from here. The PG manual and troubleshooting guide isn’t much help.

Check the basement doors under the slide and see if you have an inhibitor switch. The switch is normally open and when you shut the doors it closes. It the doors are not completely closed and/or the switch is bad the slide won't extend.

Well, I already know I don’t have an inhibitor switch. Have slide marks on a basement door from the previous owner, and I managed to add one this summer. Once in 5 years isn’t TOO bad.🥴
Thanks, though.

Do you hear any sound at all when you push the switch to extend the slide? Also, you should check the voltage at the slide motor (which takes two people). Finally, I found that none of the solder connections on our relay board were well-soldered. It hadn't failed, but I resoldered all of them anyway.

No sound at all when pushing the switch. I will check the switch for operation and voltage at the motor.
Any idea where the relay board is located?
