Slideout stops momentarily and then continues

We have a 2005 3400RL and the slideouts start and then will stop. I hear a click like a circuit breaker resetting its self. I then push the button and it will continue to finish opening the slide. I read somewhere there is a DC breaker that goes bad. If that is my problem, where is it located?

Its located in the front storage area on mine on the right side below the slide out pump one for the slides and one for landing gear. Mine started doing that last yr and just got worst as time went on so I changed to 2-40amps wired side by side Last week. works great now. theres pics on here on how to do this.

Ours did that also and added second circuit breaker. Still did it. Found out that we needed to replace the battery. Works like it is supposed to with new battery. Just my 2cents.

Ours was doing that, still under warranty, and Keystone had the dealer install and 80amp breaker in place of the 50amp that was there. They said the wiring was good for that, but that may not be true on older rigs. Give them a call.
