Thought I'd share this with the forum since we have some new owners.
about 18 months ago we were having intermittent slide problems on both slides. Took the coach in for service and was told it was "ghost" power?? They bypassed a limit switch and it seemed to help but then started having problems again when we were home. Brother-in-law helped troubleshoot and traced to the rear power bay on the passenger side. Wires were loose! Tightened them all up and no more problems. Be careful and shut off the power and battery switch when you work in there!! We also found a loose wire at the front slide motor.

For the first time ever we had a problem getting our main slide to retract. By continuously bumping the switch it finally fully brought in the slide. Any ideas?

we had intermittent slide problems and traced it to loose wires in the aft "electric" bin on the passenger side. There were several loose wires. Make sure the power and battery switch are disconnected if you work in this area. (ask me how we know!?)

We also found a loose wire at the slide motor on the LR slide.

I have heard others with this issue talk about a bad switch.

also have you tried it with the ignition in the "on" position? If your coach batteries are low or you have a loose connection at the batteries you may need to turn the key "on".

We always put our slides in and out with the key on.
