2017 Redhawk 23XM Location of Slide Controllers

I'm a newbe. I could use some help. I have a 2017 Redhawk 23XM with a sidewall and rear slides. I can't locate the slide controllers, any ideas where these controllers might be found?? They are not in any of the storage bins.
Thank you much in advance

The controllers are under the bed. Need to remove screws of bed panel to see. The controller is there along with wires going everywhere, along with the inverter and what ever trash the Jayco builders decided could stay since they expected that you would never look underneath. The motors for slide out are located in upper corner of each slide out. Two Lippert motors per slide.

XM Traveler, Thank you so much. I opened up the cover of the bed box and they are right there. If I end up with a stuck slide, at least now I have a chance getting the slide closed up. Thx again.

Does the 23 XM have the bed design that slides in onto itself? Thats the design in my Entegra.

I wonder how does one get to the slide controller as well as the rest of components, when the bed is stuck IN? On mine, you cant get to the removable bed panel; its underneath the slid in bed.

After thinking about this, I actually cut my own access hole in the bed alcove and covered it with a grate, just because of this lack of access.

DXrobertson, Geez I just went out to review mine again using your added input. Yes, my back slide with bed slides over the access box beneath the bed, which contains the controllers, and blocks access if the slide is stuck "IN". I didn't remove the mattress to see if all the screws could be accessed to remove the top plate. My big concern was #1 getting stuck with the slide out, prevented me from returning home #2 not even having a clue as to where the controllers were even located. I did do some searching prior to receiving the location from XMtraveler.

Moved the slide controller

Same problem in my grey hawk 26Y. Not only can you not get to the motor cables so you can push the slide in the case of a failure, you also cannot see the status lights that are on the controller.

Jayco engineers must not test failures on these beasts...

I moved the controller to the outer wall of the bed frame so that I can remove the bezel and get to the motor cables. An added benefit, now I can see the status lights.

Your 26Y appears to be the same design as my Entegra Odyssey 26D, which is the same design as the Redhawk 26DX. Good to know for me because I use the Jayco models when searching the forum. I knew about the Redhawk, didnt know about the Greyhawk 26Y, thanks for posting.
