Front living room slide

I have a 2015 Pinnacle 38FSLA (forward living room).Yesterday I moved from one spot to another. All slides retracted fine but my driver-side slide-out has no juice to it at all when I tried to extend. The opposite slide-out extended fine. I'm assuming something is pinched or pulled loose that I can't see. If it is the fuse, wouldn't both living room slides be inoperable?
The husband is of no help because he is working offshore and unavailable to help me figure this out. I just can't stand the thought of calling the repair dude if it's a simple fix I don't know to look for.
Thanks for any help!
Barbara.

Not sure if a single fuse supports both slides or not (I'd think not) but it would be a simple thing to check first.

I found a red wire disconnected (pulled out) from the slide-out switch-thingy (my technical term) in the belly. I imagine that is my problem. I called "the man" because I am useless with electrical problems. It's all magic to me. Thanks for responding.

Red would be the power supply. Sounds like that is your problem. No power. No slide movement.

Here's the red wire problem. Top right. *sigh* It's always something.

Looks like the crimp on connection just came loose the white plug beside the whit wire should just pull off. If so you could pick up a new one at any auto parts store and recrimp on the red wire.

I'm thinking it came off the red screw-type lug beneath it, on the right side of the slide controller. The label shows the lug should be connected to a power source (red). But I cannot be sure. Is there another controller for the other slide that you can compare it to?

If you look right above the white wire, that is where it goes. The controller even says power. Can't see if it is a lug terminal or a butt connector that has come apart. I would turn off the battery switch and remake the connector whatever it is.

My front bedroom slide on a 323LKTS did the same thing. There is a wire that is connected by a usb looking connection that runs to the motor. The dealer told me it often times gets snagged when the slideout moves in or out, and the power to one of the motors is cut as a result. They told me it was a "common" problem with the front slides. I had them extend the wire, and secure the connection with tape in hopes it doesn't happen again. Good luck.
