Title: Red light on rear slide does not go off on extend
Post by: gordon cole on July 31, 2017, 02:35:21 pm
On my 2002 U320 3620, the red light on the wardrobe slide does not go out on the extend cycle.  The pump just keeps running until the switch is released.  It works fine on the retract cycle.  Anyone have any idea what the problem is and where any potentially bad contactors or switches might be located?  Thanks very much.

I believe there is both a Hall effect switch that shows it in or out and then a pump pressure switch that signals that it has moved as far as it's going.  I believe they may both have to signal for the pump to stop and the light go out.

Don't know if my reply worked.  Wanted to thank Rick for the reply but still need to know location of switches.  I assume there must be two as it works fine on retract.  Thanks.

Not sure in a 2002, but in a 2003 the bedroom slide in/out sensors and magnets are at the bottom of the slide (inside), behind the luan kick panel.  Pull out the wood buttons and you'll find screws holding that panel in.

(the LR slide in/out sensors and magnets are behind the upper slide surround in a 2003)

Thanks Michelle.  I did pull that panel off but could not locate any switches.  There was two wires entering the lower right rear corner of the slide but other than two spade connectors, nothing visible??????

Gordon,

Does the following (from the FF Wiki) show anything you see?  Slide Room Sensors (http://www.irvblog.com/foretravel%20projects/Slide-Room-Sensors/)
