Got up this morning getting ready to leave the campground and the two front slides won't go in! I've checked everything I know but still no luck. My first thought was that one of the outside storage doors was not closed, but checked all of them. I can't find a fuse or breaker that says it is for the slides, but I checked ALL of them with a meter. Any ideas on this?

first question, do they have power? You should have a crank to manually slide them if it is a power issue. Or is something jammed..? Did you open compartments and look up? Also, something jammed inside??

Without any info on rig type can only guess. E-brake set, compartment doors closed, check door switches for wires pulled off, fuses, jacks up or down as required, air pressure up, engine on or off. Many manufacturer variables and interlocks.

Another wild guess. Is the drivers seat all the way forward? Ours is not a Monaco but the front slide has a safety lockout that will not allow the front slide to retract without the drivers seat in the full forward position.

The slide relays are in the rear battery compartment. Will say slide right on them. Unplug each and then re-seat it. Make sure your generator is running, or you are plugged into 50a shore power, so there is plenty of juice and that the ignition key is turned off. If nothing works, each slide can be manually cranked in with a box wrench or a ratchet, but it is a chore.

Sometimes when a circuit breaker pops, it does not move all the way to the other side. It can appear to be OK. Check each breaker for movement and if you find it, move it over and back to reset.

No crank? GSERA will send you a mobile mechanic to help.

Can't hear any sound when pressing the switch to retract the slides. Since both the front slides are not working, I would think it's a power issue, but as I said, I have checked everything I can find. I made sure the air pressure was all the way up, checked the connections on the bay door switches, etc.
