Front 2 slides won't work properly

Have had some trouble with the HWH slide system. Can get the back 2 slides in and out just fine. The front 2 slides, the switch box either works ok or just won't work. We have found that by turning the ignition switch on, the HWH switch will start to work properly after a minute or so.. Any ideas, ? We are still 400 plus miles from home, so will need to retract in morning and extend/ retract again .  Not sure why it is doing this. Thanks in advance for any help.

Run them out, than back in (cycle them). There is also a override switch in the control box. They may not be parking completely.

Sorry to hear about the slide issue.  It seems the newer they are, the more items have to be "correct" for them to function.  Suggest a call to James T at Foretravel and walk through it with him.

                 Any time mine acts goofy , I do the reset button. So far that works every time.    Brad Metzger
