Hey guys, How is everyone doing. I was wondering if anyone else has ran into this problem and knows of a fix or By-pass trick. We got to the races this past Friday night and I went to put my slides out Key backwards, Emergency brake on, Hydralic switch in the on position. Nothing no movement, Went back and noticed that on the Hydralic panel the red light is on saying Parking brake not engage. I am thinking that is my problem.

Any ideas????

Thanks

Jim

Sounds likely to me Jim. You should have the park brake on, the jacks down & coach level, then operate the slides. Reverse that procedure when breaking camp.

Hey Jim no problem on this end. One time my slides did not want to work it was due to bad house battery.

Sounds like a bad park brake switch. The switch should be open with the brake off and grounded with the brake on. For a temp. by-pass unplug the wire and ground it.
