Old thread but I've referenced this to fix my problem and thought I'd update for the 2001 slide owners out there.

I'm dry camping at Quartzsite, tried to bring slide in yesterday to go dump tanks and water fill, and couldn't get it to lock in properly to get coach in gear.  Tried for a couple hours.  Lower bay alert LED showed slide was still out.  I've had recurring and increasingly unworkable issues with this slide since MOT did the seal replacement last year.  They "adjusted slide so paint markings lined up", and this has thrown the entire slide and sensors out of whack.  They would not fix what they broke on a return trip in Feb.

Anyway, in searching for the for the HWH control box with override switch, I finally found the switch and pictures below show the switch and it's location on a 2001 U320.  While I had the cover to the "cake pan" off, I used a hole saw to drill a hole over the switch and labeled it so that it could be accessed later if need be.  I also put a 1/2 amp aircraft circuit breaker on one of the wires to the dash warning horn to silence it until repairs can be made.  HWH warning still displayed on the silverleaf dash, so I've gotta check for a travel light often.

Am calling Foretravel first thing in the morning to see when they can squeeze me in to get the slide fixed proper....I hope.

Try switching the room in sensors. They are the little barrel sensors that are held in with a small piece of aluminum
It worked for me a couple times.  Sometimes they get out of alignment and if i switch them and line them up pretty close it will allow the room to lock.
