Slides won't go out

Hi all. Just rolled into campground and tried to set slides out.  Only blinking yellow.  Never happened  before.  Where does the vacuum to pull down the seals come from?  Trouble shooting procedure?

Thanks

Is the compressor in the Second compartment behind the front wheel on the street side running? That compartment is also where the vacuum ports are that pull down the seals, the vacuum ports are in the back left-hand corner of that same compartment. The compressor is in the right front part of the computer compartment.

Don't argue with a fool, people watching might not be able to tell the difference.

The compressor kicked in about 20 min after we parked, and now we get a solid yellow.  A little hesitation on doing extending as we would not really want to have the reverse problem when we leave on Wednesday.  There is a fair amount of moisture in the clear bowl on the firewall by the compressor.  Is that normal?

The bowl has a solenoid on the bottom that opens whenever the compressor is off.. also there is a hwh reset button beside the drivers seat you could try too.

What is the trigger for the compressor to kick off?  Just the key switch?  Where in the sequence should I look for the delay to trigger the compressor?

Should have a pressure switch so once it reaches max pressure it shuts off. Also go to the front of your coach and drain the water out of the three tanks if you haven't lately behind the generator

This is the pressure switch in basement right next to your 12 volt compressor:  Far right in pic 2 with the cover off. You can manually manipulate it with the cover off.

Is it possible you have a split on the air bladder around the slide? With all noise producing items off walk around the slide and listen for any air leaks.

If you do have a split in  the air bladder the air compressor will run far more often than usual.
