Bedroom slide problem

Hello Everyone, We have a 2007 Nimbus 336. The bedroom slide has been acting erratically for a couple of days. Now it does not work at all. When the key is turned on you can hear the seal bladder collapsing and you can see light around the slide from the inside but the yellow light never stops flashing.After a couple of minutes of flashing the compressor comes on and will stay on until the key is turned off. I have tried the HWH reset switch.I have reread the manual and i seem to be operating the slide properly. The two forward slides are operating properly. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Maybe the vacuum switch going bad. If you can see an air gap showing that the seal has in fact been deflated, if you need to you can bypass the vacuum switch by making a jumper. Like you see here. I didn't have a nice pigtail like in the picture. That black wire on the floor was my field fix to get the slide back in.

I see the orange jumper but it's not plugged into anything. What do you "jump" using that short pigtail?
Thanks,

That came off the vacuum switch going to the control panel. It bypasses the vacuum switch so the amber light will go solid. Without that you cannot move the slide.

I am going to make a jumper like in the picture.  May save me some time in the future fooling around trying to short the two wires together.

The one in the picture was donated by MOT after replacing my LR slide bladder. I discovered it like this later. Great job of putting everything back together. 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

can you show where the wire plugs into the vac switch when the jumper isn't plugged into it??

thanks

The jumper that is connecting the two wires circled is what makes the hwh think it has enough vacuum(that is connected to the black and white wire).  Right below the upper circle is the plug with orange wires is the end from the module is plugged back into the plug that has black and white wires.
