Slide Motor Under Bed

Does this look suspicious? Looks like a burn mark on casing? Everything works fine but thought it looked odd. Any thoughts?

Is that a zip tie? Is it electrical burn but something else?

Yes.. appears to be zip tie on wires around casing.

Could it be grease from the motor's internals?

Have you touched the motor after running the slide, is it HOT

I have not. Will try that tonight when I get to campground.

On mine that rubber casing will slide off if you cut the zip tie. I would remove the cover and inspect for the cause.

Signs of what could cause that black stain. Inspect the wires before removing the cover.
