Ok I finally got the slides working. The RV place here in Lawton wanted $180.00 service call to come out and look at the slides. Then if they had to come out with parts to fix it it would cost another $180.00. SO I DECIDED I COULD FIX IT MY SELF. Got the electrical tester out and checked everything out and decided I had a bad relay. Well maybe 2 relay switches bad. One was cheap at $13.00 and one more at $79.00. Well the cheap one didn't solve the problem alone so we ordered the expensive one. Finally received it today. It wasn't exactly the same but they said it would work. Took it home and hooked it up and NOTHING. Shit. Damn. Poopy. Now what to do. Called where we bought it and they couldn't or wouldn't tell me anything helpful. So I called American RV in Grand Rapids, Michigan and talked to the service manager Doug and he walked me through it. It was as simple as hooking a ground wire to the extra terminal on the new switch. That is the difference between the two places. One just wanted the service call money and American RV is willing to help any way they can.
Anyway I did it YEEEEEEEAAAAAA. Saved at least $360.00 in labor and know a little more about our house now. Some day I might know what I'm doing. LOL

Way to go. DIY is the only way you get thinks done your way and less expensive. I still have a warranty, but still fix all the small things that quit working.
