2015 Itasca Sunstar 30T Slide Switch Wiring Schematics

[sfgt7348]

Got 2015 Itasca Sunstar 30T. No power to slide switches. Where can I get wiring schematics to trace wire 189354-01-000 KE and DY? Cannot find out where they originate.

Sorry and sad to say, but as far as I am aware that info is no longer available online for any of the 12VDC systems.
The best info I have is hunt and peck without much help. We do still have the wire ID as stamped on wires or drawings if we still had the schematic but that leaves a huge gap in info we need.
The drawings that are posted are still posted here:
https://www.winnebago.com/Files/Files/Winnebago/Resources/Diagram/Wiring.htmIn At the lower left corner of that sheet, find a link to " wiring identification guide". That guide will let you "decode" the from and to locations. That can lead to good info at times like when the wire comes off a fuse or ground?
The problem with that info on the two wires mentioned is that it indicates one end is a slideout relay???? But it doesn't tell WHERE that relay is found in any way a quick look gave me!
When you have located the correct set of drawings for you rspecific RV, related to build date, this sheet 7 of thsis drawing may be helpful as it gives info on the three conntollers for the three slides. I often fnd them near each slide and may be possible to guess if the problem is ahead of or behind that controller.
This is an example of what we nnow get but it is taken from the early build aset of info, so may not be exact for your RV! You may need to resort the info to get the correct items for your RV???

But it can be a strat on finding the problem as it may give a way to test voltage or ground change as we push the slide control buttons???
Looking at the type switches and guessing a bit, this looks very much like the ocntrols we used for reversing model railroad engines, if that happens to be part of your background? Small chances may the best shot we now have!!
But the idea may be that the switch reverses power and ground to extend or retract the slide??
Are we in deep doo-doo? YES!

It may be something you are able to sort better as you look at the various switches and if you find the relays involved. It "may" be possible to find that location on the installation drawings but without some basic info, it is now very difficult to deal with sorting the problems without basic drawings!

I first noticed what seems to be a basic change in the Winnebago management plans for supporting DIY and it has now gone further in a way that makes elcetrical work very difficult.
As old hats die out, the old idea of customer support is certainly going away! The current mode of thinking is that if a person knows how to do a job, get rid of them as they will interfere with how we want to do things!

FYI, I am coming into this topic kind of late, as I have been working on the no-power-to slide-outs problem regarding my 2011 ITASCA "SunStar" Model IFE30W. That said, I hope that you have found the source of the problem and have repaired or replaced it by now. In my case, the "ENGAGE PARK BRAKE" warning lights light up the on two slide-out control panels when I try to open the slides. After a few weeks of on & off work (including replacing the Park Brake Switch on the Park Brake mechanism itself), and chasing/tracing numerous wires, checking inline fuses here and there, I finally found a drawing that shows that the ground signal for the "Park Brake" being set first goes to the key switch on the "Master Slide Room Control Switch" 'Before' it goes to two the slide out's "RPE CONTROL BOX".

Here is the link to my entire 'lengthy' post and the replies related to it on this group regarding the slide-outs issue on my 2011 ITASCA "SunStar": 2011 Itasca SunStar Slides Show Engage Park Brake Warning Note: I suggest that you read what I posted there last Friday first, as it is what was causing the problem:

The following is a 'copy and paste' from my experiences last Friday:
Then on Friday morning (yesterday), I was back up front in the motorhome once again (Oh, my aching back!), searching for an inline fuse in either the "DD" or "DDJ" Winnebago-coded wires... I found nothing... not even a white wire with those I.D. codes up front. Then I decided to once again pull that SPST Key switch out of it's wall panel, and make a jumper to bypass the switch, joining the two wires coded "DD" & "DDJ" together. Once they were joined, I started the engine, and checked both of the slide-outs 'momentarily' for any sign of life. Both slide-puts reacted immediately. That tells me that the keyed SPST switch to complete the "Park Brake Switch" ground circuit to the two \"RPE Control Modules" ('Brains') is 'kaput'.

Attached is the third photo of the keyed SPST switch's ground wires and their spade terminals that attach to the keyed SPST switch that completes the "Park Brake Switch" connections to the two "RPE CONTROL Modules" ('Brains') for the two slide-out walls in the motorhome`. I had to temporarily 'hang' (tie) them up in place, as those two wires are so short that what you see in the photo is as far as the wires will come up out of the walI... I will be adding onto their lengths in order to make the removal and installation of the "Master Slide Room Control Switch" and it mounting plate easier for whoever may have to get in there again.

Due to the 'poor-quality' (choice of materials) of the OEM keyed SPST switch, I am hoping to find another SPST Keyed switch that is of better quality. The Winnebago drawing ( 11 E30W WIRING INSTL - BODY , 12V PART NO. 176899 DATED 2.2/2011) shows: "SWITCH-KEY, SPST - ILLINOIS LCK 163097-01-000 CONNECTS TO CIRCUITS DY & DDJ). I suspect that the '163097-01-000" is a Winnebago Part Number. (See the 4th photo).

I am heading into town to try & acquire a better-quality "Master Slide Room Control Switch" locally. Wish me luck in that endeavor.
