A member with a 2007 Itasca Meridian 36SG was stuck at an RV park in North Dakota after both slides stopped operating following replacement of the bedroom slide rocker switch. They had already pushed the bedroom slide in by releasing hydraulic pressure, but the main slide manual bolt system did not seem to reach the mechanism, and pressing retract only produced clicking at the solenoid valve.

Another member suggested checking Winnebago and HWH documentation, identifying the system as likely...

Well I am stuck at the RV park in ND as my slides have no power.
History: The rocker switch for the bedroom slide stopped working. I was able to get a 6 prong switch from local RV place. I did have to make pig tail extensions for the match up to the female plug . Once new switch ready to go tried and no power. Went to the main slide and not power.
I was able to release the hydraulic pressure from the bedroom slide and push in.
The main slide uses the tightening of bolts to bring it in. Trying to use the bolt system seems they do not reach the nut that is made to bring the slide in.
Any idea on how to get these bolts able to bring slide in?

As for power when the retract is pushed for the main slide you can here the power at the solenoid valve (clicking) but nothing happens no other sound. I have checked the 12v white push in breakers all ok. Check the white push in panel above the generator, those also seemed to be ok. I check the blade fuse at the battery bank.
I am out of ideas for either of the problems. No RV tech until monday. Any ideas or things to look for would be helpful.
 
We are getting quite short on the wiring info we need for lots of things but this may give a hint on some fuses not mentioned?
Got the owners manual onhand? If not this seems to be for a se model(???) Maybe close enough as they do not list SG model?
Sounds like you may have one?

Maybe get lucky and spot one there?
 
Do you know which brand of jacks and lsides? If it is HWH, they have good troubleshooting manuals online. The hitch there may be that we have to know which series you have. Not terribly hard to figure out if you get the manual online as it gives pictures and describes the control unit and what features like air dump or not.
One way to go on that idea is to check this manual and then sort for the one which matches your control head:
I like their system for letting us ID what we have by using pictures and knowing things like if we have air dump, etc.
This is the picture for the 625 sysstem that you may have?

Lots of deep info and it takes more study than I have ever gotten around to doing but if the choice is to wait till Monday, that may fit better. In looking at these I have spotted a numbert of different series that have fuses in spots we might never look if not knowing they were there. But first may be to find if it is HWH and then ID which manual to use? It's a really deep subject with lots of different info to get the right manual and then follow the troubleshooting charts carefully.
For not expecting fuses to be down on the hydraulic unit? I think that is due to the way the jacks and slides may use the same hydraulic and if it is built by the same builder, they may put the fuses for both slide and jacks att he same point? Never gtten too close to that other than reading for posts here on the forum.
so that makes my experience a question as it has not been proven by hands on work!
Wish you luck on the chase as I DO know how much that can mess up the plans!
 
I do have the 625 series system. I looking over the pages in the manual it talks about the slides and its asscoctation with the jack system. However when getting to the fuse location not much if anything is slide specific.
I went under the coach to try and interpret the led lights. Have to have second person to decipher the lights.

My question has anybody removed the clear cover? It seems there is a clamp/screw at the bottom but not such about any clamps elsewhere.

I am thinking this all happened by me not using the correct rocker switch for the bedroom slide.
 
Yes, not too specific to the slides but that may be because much of the hydraulic, like the pump are shared with the jacks. Have you checked that the jacks work with the correct lights when trying manual control?
If the jacks are working, then it would involve something further down the line that involves only the slides. But if the jacks are not working, that would tell you to go back more toward the main power items that feed the pump as a way to cut the chase in half.
The way I understand their manul, it starts off testing the basics like getting power by checking if the basic operations like jacks are working. If that part works for the jacks, it is expected to work for the slides.
They do give this warning that seems really important when we don't know a lot about how the little mechanical brain works!

I would have to go with the directions they give us and assume they know best! If there IS a fuse or breaker problem, they likely will tell us that when the test fails?
 
Just to close it out. Called HWH and talked to their tech people. After finding out there was no electrical problem we had to go to the high tech method.

Tech told me to get a hammer. With that in hand I was instructed to tap on the motor that power the pump. Tapping on the motor did not help. I then tapped on the solenoid attached to the motor. That woke the system up told DW not to let go of the switch until slide was all the way in.
Headed to HWH in Iowa for repairs. Happy ending
