Coach is level, in neutral, parking brake set?  Does the aux pump run?  Got a pressure gauge to see how much pressure the system has?

Yes to all of the above and other two slides work as should

If the other two slides work and the yellow light doesn't do anything, I'd guess it's the key switch itself and start there.  Remove the control panel and jumper from the in to the out and see if that starts the yellow light flashing.

Switched control panel from one of the other slides and made no difference can't find any bad fuses either

When you turn the key for that slide, does the aux compressor come on?  Does the yellow light flash at all or just stay dark?

Emergency slide retract document from Foretravel (a 2005 would be a lateral arm, I believe)  https://www.foreforums.com/index.php?media/item/emergency-slide-room-retract-procedures.3519/

(PDF attached in case folks can't get to the file in the Media section)

Be very careful regarding the slide bladder - if it is inflated at all, it could drag and get torn.

HWH manual for 2000 series without locking pins  https://www.foreforums.com/index.php?media/file/foretravel-hwh-manual-no-room-lock-2003.1459/

It's for 1 or 2 slides, but the 3-slide of a 2005 should be very similar.

Note page 32-ish.  There are fuses on the room control boards.  I don't know if they are socketed or soldered.  This page has diagnostic info based on the status of the red and yellow lights on the room control board:

ETA also see page 35-ish, there are fuses on the room I/O board for the switch panel lights.

These boards are in the clear "tackle boxes" in the HWH bay.

Rudy just alerted me that there's a permissions issue in the Media directory for those links.  I'll post back when we get that fixed.

ETA - I added a PDF of the emergency slide document to my prior post in the meantime.

It's fixed now.  Should have only impacted those in the Commercial Members group.
