Slide/Slide Lock Issue

After extending the bedroom and living room slides on my 2014 Sightseer, the full wall slide failed to move. There were no fault codes. I had E brake set, jacks down, and motor running. I pushed the slide lock on and off quickly and then tried to extend the slide again. It went out about a foot and stopped. By engaging and disengaging the slide lock quickly I was able to eventually get the slide out. I had to do the same sequence to get the slide back in. The other slides worked without problems. I think the issue is with the slide lock mechanism. Any ideas?

On ours, the slide lock takes about 7 seconds to engage or to unlock. The slide won't move if locked.

There are microswitches on the locks that need attention and adjusting.

We had an '11 Journey; a slide lock failed as we were taking delivery. We had them fix it, but after seeing how frail they were, we never used them again. We did 75,000 wonderful miles with the Journey without another problem.

Thanks. Sounds like a good plan to me.
