Title: HELP Slide is Stuck open
Post by: ricker on November 21, 2020, 03:31:35 pm
U320 4210 year 2000 our slide is stuck open
The hydraulic pump works it appears the pins are stuck.
Check Hydraulic fluid.
Cracked the valve on the Hydraulic system to unlock just will not move in.
Any suggestions

Check the rocker switch to see if it is passing power from the center pin to the one going to the lock pins. You can call me at+18132153463 as I just went through that.

There were different versions of the slide mechanism 20 years (plus or minus) ago. On mine, the pins only extend for the in position.  Do yours lock in the out position?

I had that happen and I needed a new board got a bit loose and hit the top of the cover.  It shorted my fuse but the second time it shorted my board.

The rocker switch was the problem on mine. There is a manual bypass procedure in your owners manual that will get you closed up and locked.
