Rear slideouts not working. What to do

Jzack · 07-10-2022, 06:15 PM

There should be two 20 amp automotive style fuses on the firewall above the generator.

Check those first.

Rear slideouts not working, now all 5 slides are not working. Batteries are all charged up, fuse in bedroom is okay and 2 fuses by generator are okay. Are there any recommendations on how to fix this problem. The two fuses by the generator has a black component beside them, would you have to replace ( I believe it is a breaker). Any other things that I should check. Thank you.

Welcome to the forum.

What slide manufacturer is used in your coach? ...Power Gear, HWH, etc.? I know that some Damons of that era used the BAL Accu-Slide cable/electric system. Is yours an Accuslide system? If so, I see that I have a service manual in my files that gives a lot of troubleshooting information. I'll go ahead and attach it but if yours isn't an Accu-Slide, disregard. Let us know who makes the slides if not BAL.

It possibly could be a control board issue and you might have to replace it but it's too early to diagnose until we know the manufacturer of your slides.

If your slideouts are like mine, then they run off battery power only, and only with the key off. Don't get sidetracked by the generator or anything else. Each slideout will have its own controller, and you have to find each one, but this sounds like it's common to all, so, does everything else in the rig that runs off battery power work?

With our 2008 Damon you can't even have the key in the ignition, or the slides won't move.

Is the battery disconnect off?

Have you tried with the generator running?

Sometimes it can be the simple stuff.
