Troubleshooting the troubleshooting

This controller is located up on the left side of the passthrough on my 2018 Seismic. I'm getting 9 red blinks and 1 green (10th blink is green)....not sure what the hall power short to ground is?

Hall stands for "Hall effect sensor" which senses the number of revolutions of the motor. Per the other diagram on the sticker for the connector layout, it's the brown wire on the bottom row.

Gotcha...that makes sense. And so now what am I looking for?...chase that Brown wire to see if it's got a break in it somewhere?

The connectors and the wires where they go into the motor are notorious for issues. Have you had rain recently? If it were me, I'd remove power from the controller to reset it. After that, follow the wire and check every connector for water and debris. If you have a broken wire, it's likely at the motor itself.

My Seismic has a short wire drop from each motor and a connector on each side of the slide at the bottom that connects to an extension wire. For the big slide, that extension runs in the floor to another connector and extension wire just under the pass through That third wire runs to the controller. I have no idea how the other slides are routed.

Hope this helps.

If your stranded, you should be able to use the manual jog process to move the slide without the hall sensor.

Very much appreciated! We have had rain the last couple days with more in the forecast. I'll get up in there and check the places you've listed. I'm hooked up to a spot until early April so there's a little time to troubleshoot and fix it. Truth be told i haven't tried to operate the slide yet so i don't even know what it'd do. Just happened to notice the flashing lights becsuse i got into the storage compartment for something when it was dark out, and saw the lights. Again, I appreciate it.

I have had a problem with a connector on the inside at the bottom hanging up and unplugging itself. It's not hard to see but on my rig it's in a tight spot.

Solid copy...I'll chase the wires and see what I can see.

So both motor 1 & 2 wire bundles are routed from the controller going forward, into the floor of the bedroom as I look at it from the pass through. The propane storage and generator/battery bays do not show evidence of these wire bundles at all. Anyone have an idea how I can get to motor 1? Thinking maybe it's underneath the bed somewhere?

What model do you have?

Schwintek slide motors are in the wall. Typically the wire routes up along the edge of the wall inside a piece of plastic or rubber molding. On my 4114, they come up through a hole in the inverter area and lay on the floor under the slide itself behind the trim piece for the front motor.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. What model of seismic do you have? It will help others who own a similar model chime in. Each model has different slides and wiring.

If you have a Schwintek slide, there are some good videos on the LCI site and on YouTube on how to manually access and work on the slide motors.
