Good afternoon all,

Finished the problem with my volt meter and re-installed the dashboard. I notice that an a 12V outlet had no power. Wires appear to go through the firewall? Went to check and all fuses are good. Looked up and decided to move out the generator to check the wires, but the Gen Slide would not move. (Last time it was moved and started was a month ago and ran for 2 hours during an electrical outage at the park). Went inside and pushed the Gen Slide and nothing and pushed the Gen Start nothing. Look at the remaining switches Dock Lights work but the Dash Fans did not. Walking out the door and I attempted to move the Room Slide and nothing.

Checked the door pressure switch that is now fused, that went bad last year when I could not bring in the Room Slide. One side of the fuse was not seated, pushed the fuse in and went to check if things worked but nothing. Climbed under the RV near the Hyd pump to check all fuses that I could find and were all good. Push my multimeter into a splice to the pump had my wife pushed the Gen Out Switch and nothing? Hyd pump works because I can raise the levelers. I know there's a possibility that wires were disturbed when working on the volt meter but since the Dock Lights work, kind of thinking it's something else since the Room Slide is not working as well?

I have been reading on IRV2 as some are saying that it might be my parking brake?

Thanking you in advance as all comments are welcome,

Thanks and as always safe travels,

My nason switch (parking brake set), must be on before my genny slide will work. I'm not sure about your slides, but they may be interconnected as well.

Nason switches are a common failure item. Look on the valve under your air brake handle/plunger. Most Nason switches are there.

~2 years ago my front or rear slide would not work. Found the ~5 amp fuse blown on the slide controller. As soon as I replaced it the fuse blew again.

So I went through troubleshooting. In the end I unplugged the main harness on the slide controller, it had ~12 wires. I found the ground wire in the harness and started checking for continuity to any of the other wires. It ended up being the safety circuit that stops the slides from working if any of the bay doors were open. This circuit also included the generator slide and front steps.

So I started checking the bay door latches. In the past the front bay door under the slide would cause a problem, I could open and slam that door closed and that would solve the problem. So I took a close look at the inhibitor switch, just looking at it I couldn't see a problem so I reached up behind to check the wiring and the inhibitor switch fell apart in my hand. The wiring was shorted to ground and that is what was causing the fuse to blow. I actually had a spare inhibitor switch so I replaced it and that solved the problem.

So if you have multiple slides not working it could be the safety circuit and or a common aspect of all the slides.

Pat,
RustyKramer was/is having a similar problem and his Nason switch is not on the valve body either. He posted here and also has been posting over on Monocoers.
Since his setup is different than mine, I couldn't help much, but several thought his nason was/is on the firewall/genny compartment.

I'm not sure if he got it resolved or not.
You might even reach out to him to discuss it off line.

Here's his IRV2 thread.

Good afternoon all,

I posted this last night on a thread talking about the same issue.

Thanks to all who responded. I can now start the Generator. Attached is the schematics and picture of the parking brake, found one on Amazon $38.99 made by Haldex. The product description says normally open, check the one I have and it's closed but I do have the brakes on, does it need replacement? Also I checked the voltage and was none, my "P" light is on but no voltage to the brake switch. Will investigate tomorrow.

Today, I have power to the brake switch(replace the Brake light socket and cleaned the M-7 dash panel plug), I attempted to operate the slides and nada. Lifted the levelers, operated the Parking brake on/off and still nothing. The new switch comes Saturday. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I leave on the 28th and if I cannot resolve this can someone suggest how to manually bring in the LR/Kitchen Slide as I have no paperwork on that?

Thanks again and as always safe travels,

Good evening all,

Installed new part and nothing. Put dashboard back and Voltmeter did not work, so I have issues's. Got Voltmeter working by unplugging and re-plugging M-6 dash panel plug and gauge worked. I'll figure it out when I get home.

Thanks to all who responded and as always safe travels,

Good evening all,

I followed Ivan K (Monacoers) recommendations and he figured out that the new brake switch (maybe its wire wrong or bad switch) was not sending a ground to the 4 post electrical solenoid (I would have never figure that out). He instructed me to unhook the wire from the brake switch and run a separate ground and after I did that the slide moved in and out. I leave on Monday, so I am done investigating the problem until I get home.

Thank you to Ivan K and to all who responded,

Thanks again and as always safe travels,
