If it is hydraulic the bleed out procedure from equalizer could also be a fix. May have to do the procedure several times to get all the air out. Proper fluid level first, mine is 1" from the top.
One of my slides has a pair of factory installed electric locks, the other uses a removable rod that screws out and wedges between the wall and slide. That lock is useless as where it rests on the slide frame is small and not that strong. I never use that lock.

Troubleshooting Guide for
Slide-Out (S) Extending (Drifting) from Stowed Position
This Troubleshooting Guide Assumes that There are No External Fluid Leaks
And the Fluid Level in Pump Reservoir is at the Proper Level.
The Slide-Out Extending (drifting) from Stowed Position is an Indication of a Loss of System
Pressure in The Common Retract Circuit. This Retraction Pressure Holds the Leveling Jacks
Stowed and the Slide-Out Rooms Closed.
Step 1: Bleed the hydraulic system
The Leading Cause of this Condition is Trapped Air. In most cases, Bleeding the Hydraulic System
will Resolve the Issue.
Bleed the Leveling System:
• On a Hard Level Surface, run the leveling jacks to full extension. Extend all jacks until they touch
the ground. Using the DOWN▼ jack buttons, a little at a time, alternate extending the front jacks
and the rear jacks. Try to lift the coach as evenly as possible to avoid undue stress. When the
jacks get to full extension, the sound from the pump will change pitch. This means the pump is in
bypass or over pressure relief mode.
Note: This Procedure will Lift the Unit Off The Wheels. Make Sure to Extend the Jacks
Evenly to Avoid Damaging the Unit.
• One at a Time Press and Continue to hold each of the DOWN▼ jack buttons. Hold the button
running the pump in bypass for 10 -15 seconds. Do this for all four jacks.
• Allow the Fluid in the reservoir tank to settle: 15 -20 minutes.
• Retract the Jacks. Use either the UP▲ jack buttons or the RETRACT ALL button.
• Once Retracted, one at a time press and continue to hold each of the UP▲ jack buttons. Hold the
button, running the pump in bypass for 10 -15 seconds. Do this for all four jacks.
• Allow the Fluid in the reservoir tank to settle: 15 - 20 minutes.
• Repeat this Process.
Bleed the Slide-Out circuits.
• Fully Extend each Slide - Out.
• With the Slide - Out Fully Extended, continue to hold the extend button for 10 -15 seconds.
• Allow the Fluid in the reservoir tank to settle: 15 - 20 minutes.
• Fully Retract each Slide - Out.
• With the Slide - Out Fully Retracted, continue to hold the retract button for 10 -15 seconds.
