UPDATE: 2020 Pinnacle 32RLTS. Our bedroom slide extended, but no retract. Solution: First off the issue stemmed from Jayco Build quality. The roller bracket (inside, left roller bracket under bed frame looking in at bedroom from door) came completely unsecured (all 4 screws come undone) and jammed between the bed frame and floor (pop and crack) tearing the linoleum flooring in about 4 places. Used carpet glue to reattach flooring - very sticky. Never noticed until a week later - looked down and seen a tear in floor. The plywood covering of the bedframe had to be removed temporarily for the floor repair, the good part is after reassembling the frame the repaired tears are un-noticeable to the eye (underneath). The obstruction caused an amperage surge in the motors trying to retract against an obstruction and thus caused a amperage surge in the retract circuit of the BMPRO Node. You could switch the ext/ret connections on the controller and the slide would retract using the extend button or switch the motor connectors on the controller doing the same.
From BMPRO Techs: "Make sure the slide is not disabled from retracting due to a door potentially being crushed. There is a detection that will put 12Volts on pin 62 SGL SLIDE DISABLE on the JAYCOMMAND Node. Test for voltage at this location. If voltage is detected, check for the door crush hazard, either close or open the door near the slide room. If there is no voltage detected at pin 62, and with the symptoms you are experiencing the Slide relay has failed and the Node should be replaced." I measured 3.2 volts and there is no crush circuit such as a micro switch on the 32RLTS and BMPRO Techs agreed on the amperage surge to the retract circuit which they recommended replacing the node. Instead I decided to just install a momentary rocker switch below the BMPRO Panel in the coach (4 Pin Marine Grade ON-Off-ON/Open-Close/in-Out Momentary Rocker Switch with Blue LED Light - Amazon bypassing the node all together for the retract circuit. $25 for switch and housing versus $160 used (ebay) to $500 for a new node. Removed (ext/ret) wires from node to controller (tied off) and installed two wires from rocker switch and tapped power from the controller power connector blade to the middle post of the rocker switch. I did purchase another controller since the reset button on the original controller fell apart and disappeared some time ago somehow - the controller was not at fault but did need another controller (ebay) just for the reset button). Currently have a SPDT toggle switch installed for testing and works perfectly. All good now. BTW: I bolted the roller bracket with 1/4 x 20 x 2-inch bolts through floor using self-locking nylon nuts and large washers which is accessible in the storage. The other bracket is holding tight. All good!
