Members are helping diagnose why the slide-out on a 2017 Winnie Drop 170S isn’t receiving power, despite the trailer being connected to 30-amp shore power and all other systems functioning. The original poster has already replaced the 10-amp fuse and checked the wiring at the toggle switch, but the slide remains inoperable. A moderator suggests using a multimeter to trace the power issue, which the original poster plans to acquire.

Another experienced RVer points out that slides typically...

I have a Winnie Drop 170s. TT 19 ft. 2017.
The slide power switch isn't getting power to open the slide. I checked the 10 fuse and replaced it. Still, No power. I'm connected to 30 amp power with a Watch dog. Everything else works in the TT.
The battery is since 5/24.
I took the panel off at the toggle switch and reconnected the wires, still no power. Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Definite tool needed to deal with RV!
We don't get the best info and drawing on the trailer group, nearly none!
But I might think there should be another fuse or breaker as well as the 10 amp/ Ten amp is not very much to move something as large as a slide, so I might guess the 10 is for the controls and there may be a larger one for the motor or whatever moves your slide.
No drawings to back that idea, though, so keep in mind it IS pure GUESS!

this is the slide controller located behind the panel below the sink. If the slide power rocker switch is on and lit, the controller should have power. If the rocker is on but not lit look for power loss between the switch back to the power/fuse panel. Also in the forward storage compartment their is a battery isolation switch that needs to be closed if you don’t have shore power connected.
 
im having the same issue... new lithium battery .. the slide out power light is lit but when I hit the in side of the rocker switch... I get nothing?
 
Those 2 wires on the right do not go thru the switch, that is the black and green on the bottom. If there is no power on the big wires on the right, it does not care if the switch is used. You can unplug a motor and jump 12v straight to each motor to test the controller. If you have 12 volts on the big wires, 12 volts when you hit the switch, and the motors move when 12 volts is applied, its the controller.
