Slides Only work on remote

[CRUZIN 2]

I'm reposting this for (Mayberry) I know some one on here can HELP.



Our slides will not go out when the button is pushed inside. They will go out using the remote. Also, if u press the slides manually
outside they will not go out...HELP, what could the matter be?
We are 1/2 way to our final destination....don't want to get delayed or be w/out our home.

This is becoming a common problem. Several members have apparently figured out a bypass to buying a new control module. Basically the problem is an interlock designed to prevent concurrent usage of the external switch and the remote fails to reset. The result is only the remote functions. Replacing the control module is the standard solution as the interlock is built into the control board circuitry (~ $200).

The bypass is to move the ground wire from the switches from the connection on the control module to a chassis ground. This negates the interlock and enable the switches once again. The problem of using the external switch and the remote at the same time is not one I consider an issue.

Here are several threads which supply all the knowledge you need to correct the problem.

KIB Electronics probably manufactured the control board. They can be reached at 574-262-0518.

I had to replace the control board for my main awning. They are good to work with.
