Title: Slide Rooms
Post by: Craig Berger on January 15, 2023, 05:50:31 pm
I am unable to extend my slide outs.  After turning the slide key and red light comes on, I hear a clicking but slides do not extend. 
I hear the hydraulic solenoids click but pump does not operate.  I'm showing 13.8 volts at the pump. 
Does anyone know if there is a reset somewhere or have any advice how I can check it?

Note per his profile, this is a 2003 U320.

Craig - you may want to create a signature so your coach information appears at the bottom of each of your posts.

When you turn the key, first the amber light should start blinking.  You should hear the aux compressor run as it's pulling vacuum on the slide bladders.  Once it achieves vacuum (since this is a 2003), the light should go solid.

Do you have this behavior?

Are you level (per the HWH control pad display)?  No "excess slope" light, correct?  You can't move the slides in an "excess slope" situation.

Transmission in N and parking brake set?  You can't move the slides without the parking brake set.

Do you have a reset of your HWH to the left of the driver seat? If so, reset the HWH. If not , turn off the salesman switch and turn back on, should rest system.
Did you try retract as well as extend?

Slide pump electric motor part numbers (https://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=44748.0)
Come to think of it I had a similar problem. Ended up being a no cost repair. Failed ground in hydraulic  motor. Suspect you could have the same
