Slide will not work Heartland 20ft. 2019

Feels like no power getting to my slide. Press the button and no nothing. Checked fusses, plugged into AC, still nothing. Is there other fuses away from fuse panel?

There is a self resetting circuit breaker that is know to be problematic with what you are describing. They are $10-30 on Amazon depending on size. Most folks are switching out the 50 AMP circuit breaker for an 80 Amp on the hydraulic slides/self-leveling systems. See picture for what these little circuit breakers look like. They are usually located Inna storage area where other electrical stuff is. Ours is in the front bay on the wall where our batteries are located.

1. Battery voltage 12.5
2. I checked fusses in the panel. 20 amp good.
3. I checked voltage across those odd fusses pictured above. 12.5 volts both sides.
4. Pulled switch and found o have voltage to switch but not across switch when I operate it.
Ordered a new 4 pole switch from Amazon. Will put it in next week when I get it.

Did you check the little breakers near the batteries? Generally for the slide they are self-resetting, but it could be wrong one from the factory. Also the main breaker out there is not self resetting and it has a small reset button under the red boot covering. These little breakers are near the batteries, being a TT more than likely these are on the A frame outside.

What if you jump across the switch?

If it turns out to not be the switch, the breaker on mine was under the trailer close to the battery. I had to remove hatch cover from belly cover to access.

1. Replaced the rocker switch. Slide works

Also found the lug bolts on the little auto resetting fusses not even finger tight.
