Slide problems - 2012 Merridian 40U

I have a 2012 Itasca Merridian 40u. We arrived at our site last night. 3 slides worked fine. The long slide on the driver side did not work. No fault codes or lights on the power gear switch plate. Seemed to be a bad switch. I exchanged what I thought may have been a bad switch with the switch from the passenger large slide. Still nothing. Put both switches back to their original places. Now neither will work. I have power at the 12 volt breakers both in and out. Those wires go to a Power Gear RPE control which it seems senses any issue where the slides should not work like jacks not down, brakes not set, etc. I did attempt to open the long slide on level ground without the jacks down to test clearance. Put jacks down and three of the four slides still opened. Any ideas? Can the RPE control be reset ?

I have 2010 32K with 2 slides. Slides were not working properly so had to replace both RPE control boxes. Not sending consistent max current to motors. Went ahead and replaced all four motors too to avoid future issues.

Is the lock disengaging?
