Slide control

[oilcan]

no power going to the slide switch on our 99 Monaco Windsor there is power at the water pump switch also at the monitor panel power at the relay in the rear electrical compartment all fuses in the driver side electric compartment good it was working when the coach was last used if I run a jumper wire to the switch the slide works unable to find where the slide switch gets its power supply from all the safety switches in the basement compartments work and have power to them

Not sure what the difference may be on a 1999 vs 2002 but here are a couple things to check
Each door under the slide has an inhibitor switch that senses when the door is closed. When my slide doesn't move the first thing I try is slamming all the doors shut.
I have a slide control module that is located in my passenger side rear electrical bay. It is fastened to the door of that first compartment. Looks like this https://rvpartsexpress.com/product/k...kibsoc1020awd/ there is a fuse that blows occasionally I think its a 5 amp.

thanks for the reply I have already checked the safety switch's on the basement doors under the slide there is power at both switches just to be sure by passed both with a couple 15 amp fuses still nothing from what I could find on that board you mentioned it is for coaches with more than one slide other than a few cosmetic items I think the only difference between a 99 and a 02 is 99 only single slide whereas the 02 will have 2 slides thanks for the reply will keep looking for now Ive just added a power source to the switch from another wire in the monitor/slide switch compartment

The module that I put a link to can also be used on one slide.
My generator is mounted on a slide and it used the same module, it is mounted in my front drivers side electrical bay.

I'm not sure why they use the module but figure there is a reason. In It may actually limit the amperage draw when moving the slide so that your not blowing fuses.



If you don't have a module the only thing you can look for is a fuse/connection/relay problem. The motor pulls a lot of amps so the low amperage switch sends a signal to a relay that closes a higher amp circuit to move the slide. These relays can go bad.

You'll have to trace wires somehow. Buy a good fox and hound type tracer (I had a problem and needed one quick so I bought a harbor freight model that does not work great for detail work)

On my 06 windsor, the slides (including the generator) are tied through the nason switch on the parking brake plunger. If the nason switch fails, (very common) the slides won't work.

Good point on other potential problems.


In my front drivers side electrical bay there is s Slide Disable relay 5 amp fuse.



On the previous post regarding the slide out control module there is a disable relay on it also, besides the 5 amp fuse.

will have to check some more but I have no panel above the inverter that I can see the only other thing that showed up when I turned the step switch on and turn the ignition switch to on the steps do not retract the fuse in the electrical compartment on the left front indicates the same fuse for the step and the slide will check some more tomorrow under the step as there is a lot of wiring going there and it is all tapped up

I assume you checked the hydraulic pump system is good? Just the switch is not getting power? Maybe you should change the switch as well? It might be rare for switches to fail, not it could happen.
