Slideout Problem

on the tongue is an electrical box and then next to that there are 2 small connectors covered by a rubber cover that look like junction connectors, my guess is one for each slide out, one was sparking and getting very hot, and one of my slideouts quit working, here is a pic, i pulled one of the connectors off the trailer frame to keep it from arcing, what are these called and are they available at any rv supply?Click image for larger version

those are resettable fuses. If sparking they are bad. Yes, available at any Rv store and many auto parts houses. they supply 12-volt power to your slides and jacks. follow the wiring back to your motors and/or controller looking for bad connections or burnt wiring.
