Simplest way to explain it, is slide out won't work normally. But seems to have power.
Steps I've done:
#1. Replaced old battery w/ new.
#2. Tested wires going to the 40amp short stop breaker as well as the 30amp short stop breaker. (Seems to be working fine 12v the whole way)
#4. I have connected a battery to the electric motor to the slide and it works (straight power).
#5. I have tested the wires going to the switch (wall) and going to the motor from the wall switch (all works). One way is -12.5v and +11.6v the other way.
#6. Never found a reset button for the slide out.
I reconnected everything back up, I can hear a slight click noise (not from the switch) when slide button is pressed but slide doesn't move.
Fyi. I am in the process of fixing one of the landing gears and the camper is not completely level. (don't feel like that would matter but maybe)
New to the rv world, be gentle ?
Seriously considering just running a wire to a fuse with a double pole rocker switch straight to the slide out motor, by passing any wiring inside the unit.
Camper is a 1997 Mallard 29 5e (fifth wheel)
