Hydraulic Slide Motor Won't Run

Yahoo Message Number: 101989
Just Recently We got our Coach from storage and as soon as we arrived it was obvious one of the slides had crept out a couple inches. Didn't think much of that as the coach has been in storage for months. Upon starting the coach and while waiting for the air to build I tried to retract the slide and the pump motor won't run. The front and the rear control panels act the same, so little chance both of the switches are bad. If I short across the relay for the slide pump motor, everything works. so the pump motor and the actual slide control valves work OK. I do have full battery power at the first relay in the system. All the electrical diagrams supplied by Country Coach get pretty vague in tracing this issue and I was unable to find the Country Coach system on the HWH website. Anybody with ideas?

On my 08 magna it looks like there are two circuit breakers going to the control boxes and a fuse from the ignition switch(yellow wire) .I am not familiar with your coach enough to give real advise. I assume you would have the same control panel. Mine lights up when the switch is turned on. My slide wiring schematic is combined with the hwh air leveling.

Yes, look for a bad bay door switch. One of them is open and not allowing  the slide to work.

Really? The bay door switches are tied into this system? Please explain more.

Most coaches use the bay dopr switch to not  operate the slide if any  of the bay doors are open. They are usually included the safety system for  operating the slides. The switches complete a ground circuit when a door is  open.

An update to our problem. I spoke with Kevin and Butch doing some more testing, and best guess was the control box was bad. I drove just 2 hours to HWH, no appointment, just showed up, and less than 2 days I was all fixed up. The control was removed and repaired onsite. I can't say enough good things about these people and company.
