I have a 2014 301sab. We just got back from tahoe today and my wife went to slide out the slides and they stop about halfway out and now nothing. With luck all three slides and awning worked by remote. Everything else on the control panel works. (lights, pump, water heater) I check the fuses and all is good. Any info on how to fix would be great.

Since your slides and awnings are working consistently with the remote I would assume they are okay. Really do not have much information so I assume you tried opening the slide from your control panel it went half way and stopped. Sounds like either a bad switch or you lost power (fuse) to that switch/panel section. You did not mention if the awnings still work from your panel?? Bad panel?? Not sure if you have just simple toggle switches or a control panel?

Up front by your battery you should have two or possibly three 12 VDC breakers. Also there is an "in line" fuse in the slide power going back to the slides. One of them is not allowing power to go to the slides.

The reason your remote control still works is because that power source "bypasses" the 12VDC breakers and the "in line" fuses.

Here's what you're looking for:

just checked and i had the same voltage on both sides of 12 volt breaker. It was 13.2 volts. If i remember right i last time i checked i had 28 volts. I disconnected each battery had both read 13.2. I could find the inline fuse.

What is your battery configuration? Do you have one 12V, two 12V, or two (or four) 6V? The only way you could have had 28 volts is to have two 12v batteries wired in series. :confused:

That's not right. It's a 12 volt system. Your batteries should be wired in parallel. I think you created your own problem.

i just checked and they are wired for 12 volts. I while back i checked the voltage and thought i had a reading 26 or 28 volts. I must be wrong.
