No power to the electric slides.

[TheBruceFamily]

2014 Keystone Montana High Country Model 305RL 5th wheel.

The rocker switches for the slides appear to have no power. *I brought in the bedroom and the dining slide with no issues. I pressed the switch for the refrigerator slide and nothing happened. I check the other slides and now they don’t work either. I unplugged from shore power and check the battery and it’s good. I hooked up a charger to be sure.
I have reset all the breakers inside the camper and I have checked all the fuses and they look good. I changed the 15 amp inline fuse near the control panel in the front compartment. I assume there’s another breaker panel or reset somewhere in the rig but I haven’t located it yet.
Any suggestions form this knowledgeable group?

Check your tank heaters and leveling jacks.
I discovered the hydraulic system (slides and jacks) and the tank heaters shared the same red in line fuse above and behind the hydraulic pump.
The fuse had backed out I pushed it back in hard and everything was working again.

And welcome to the MOC

Early HC's have electric slides and jacks (old style, not the 4 point levelers) as I recall. I am not HC literate at all but, there is likely something greater than a 15 amp fuse stopping operation.

Look for and check the voltage on each side of the two 50 a
mp self resetting circuit breakers (they have red plastic caps) connected the to "+" battery side. There is a picture of them in the first Post of thid Thread

Let me preface this by saying I’m not the most experienced electrical person but here’s what I tried.
I used a volt meter to check the battery which was 13.70 volts. I put the ground lead of the volt meter on the negative post of the battery and touched the positive lead to one side of the resettable breaker behind the battery and had 13.70. I repeated this process for each post on the three resettable breakers and had 13.70 each time.

Thanks for the reply, Tony. I check the leveling system and it seems to be working. I don’t believe my rig has a tank heater.

I changed out the circuit breakers just to eliminate those from the equation. I found the converter and changed the two 40 amp fuses. I also checked every fuse in the box on the stairs. Nothing has worked. I manually retracted the slide and am taking the trailer to storage tomorrow. This is clearly outside my area of expertise. Thanks for the assistance. Back to the shop she goes.

As I have noted before, all RVs are in one of three stages, in no particular order:

- It's broken.
- You just fixed it.
- It's getting ready to break again.
