This motorhome has all 3 electric slides . Bedroom slide is in and I have 12V at switch but slide motor makes no noise in or out . I assume there are relays some where to feed the 110V to slide motor , before I take bed apart if I could get a wiring diagram it would be helpful .
Thanks

Slides work off 12 volts only. Now they can be hydraulic but the pumps run off 12 volts. Also recommended to be hooked to shore power to help. Need a fully charged battery for the motor high amp draw to start and the converter working to help keep up.

Hi ! Welcome to IRV2! We're sure glad you joined the gang!

Noticed you are kinda new on IRV2 and wanted to say hello! Have fun and keep her between the ditches!

If your MH has storage bay doors that open upward there will probably be interlock switches on the doors that prevent the slideouts from working with the door open. Even though the doors are closed, a switch could be defective or just need adjustment.

Good luck, happy trails, and God bless!

Yep, Recommend you check this first and ensure you’re hooked to shore power. If you can’t hook to shore power then turn on the generator and be sure Ignition key is in the off position. Mine does the same thing sometimes and will work once shore power is connected.
