Our 3019/20 3120rl kitchen slides are not working. We got set up in our Borrego site and extended the slides. All worked well. Today, after being here for a few weeks, I needed to bring them in a bit, but all I hear is a click in the pump compartment. Any ideas on what to check would be appreciated
Thanks for that. What does CB stand for with respect to the hydraulic pump? I do hear a clicking in the area of the pump and I have upgraded to the 80amp breaker already.

IF you hear a "Click" from the dual polarity solenoid -- its mounted on the pump motor but no pump rotation then I would:
.. check for loose/corroded battery connections and battery voltage
.. If above is good then do a simple pump motor and solenoid test.. takes just a few minutes...
Your existing breaker might have a red cap on it, and one of the load side cables will be going up to the hydraulic pump. An 80 amp breaker will look similar to the photo.

I experienced a lot of weird electrical "gremlins" and slide-out difficulties from weak batteries.
My OEM batteries did fine for 3 years - then the Big Texas Freeze Feb 2021 (no power & 9* for 5 days) basically drained & killed them. I tried to run the furnace at a low temp for insurance against freezing even though I had blown out the system. I should have disconnected them.
I bought two Group 27 marine AGMs from Sams to replace the OEMs. The Big Central Texas Ice Storm Dec 2022 (again 5 days no power at 15*) killed those. I hoped they would charge up and live again but they were too far gone.
I am on my 3rd set now...Sams Group 27 marine lead acid. My rig is plugged in 99% of the time (either at campground or at S&B).

Are you slides hydraulic? Electric? Or some of both?
If you are hearing the click as soon as you hit the switch then I don’t think it is the CB (circuit breaker). The CB click usually happens after it heats up and opens, typically taking a few seconds after the switch is activated.
If you hear the click as soon as you hit the switch I am guessing it is something to do with the reversing solenoid (that makes a clicking noise also) or pump motor or not enough battery power to run the pump.

Can you post a picture of your battery compartment circuit breakers.
Some people have discovered they are incorrectly wired (1 & 2) and simply installing an 80A circuit breaker doesn't help due to them being mis-wired.
Found the culprit. I should have checked the pump breaker first.. The 80 amp breaker had tripped. I can't understand why it would trip, but it did. Having reset it, it is all good now.
If none of the slides are working, and you hear a click, check the connections on the solenoid controlling the slide out punp. You can always insert a quarter inch drive in the pump motor and retract the slides.

Does that mean you had already replaced the original 50 amp auto reset breaker with an 80 amp manual reset breaker and that new 80 amp breaker had tripped?

Exactly. And I am stymied as to why the breaker tripped.
