Question 2018 Eagle HT 28.5 Solar prep & slide control

I know these things have been discussed previously but here goes. I am trying to locate the solar wiring from the roof. I have seen where there is supposed to be a label outside that bathroom. "No label" Short of buying a tone generator, where exactly did you find the wires?

Also, we have three slides. I have found two controllers behind the battery disconnect switch panel in the pass through. Where did you find the third controller. I assume it's the one for the bedroom closet slide.

I would take out the control panel for the Jsmart system, or whatever they call that screen thing. The wires are probably dangling there. If you can't get that panel off, there's access to that space inside the top cabinet.

As to the slide control, good question- I've seen the same two you have, but not the third.

I'll take that info and see if I find anything. I'm starting to ask if I can borrow a tone generator. Thanks

I just got to looking, and got curious and found them. They are right behind that area- large red and black cables, taped off. The outer ring just snaps off, then 4 screws to remove the screen.

Also got to thinking about the slide controllers. The two identical controllers you found are probably for the kitchen and bedroom slides. The living room slide would be a different style.
