slide problems
I have a 2018 377RLBH North Point. My background is aviation maintenance. I hold an A&P certificate. I tell you this to let you know I believe I'm "handy" enough to fix most issues on my RV. But this problem has me stumped.
The dining room slide will extend and retract while using the LGI app on my phone and when using the panel on the wall but when I try the toggle switch in the main panel nothing happens. I removed the panel; there is power to the switch and the switch works when checked with an ohm meter.
Any thoughts to what could be causing this?
Thanks
Vic

could the wire from the switch to the motor possibly have come loose or disconnected?

Vic, same here............but not all the time. Phone app & panel always work. I'll live with it until all three fail

We had same problem with our NP 315 on the dinning slide. On ours the motor was amping out and would not work when using switch, but would work fin when using the keypad. The dealer changed the motor and has worked fine since. Hope yours is fixed before you get stuck some place with slide extended.

The wireless control ties in with the switches. Could be a connection issue at the wireless module.

Huh!
We have the same thing happening on our dining slide; Works on the Lippert Panel but not the hard-wired panel switch.
Next week we go to the local dealer for recall work and will have them look at this. Now we can tell them what to look for and it will make us look smart!
Chopperdoc, I'm with you. I'm an Embry Riddle Grad with A&P from back in the 70's. I miss the direct DC circuitry for moving heavy things like Flaps and landing gear. Direct power to the motor with adjustable micro limit switches that you could watch, touch, feel and adjust. None of this digital controller BS!!!
Thank you Chopperdoc and Wayne for this info.
All the best
-Angus
