On mine, the wireless remote operates both slides, the front gear, the awning and the front lights.
Okay so its an actual hand held remote. Have not seen any on Raptors? My question using the same terminology was if brain function lines were fused feeding the different functions? Your discription did not mention any. Unless I am reading this incorrectly the brain wiring to the function bypasses it fuse? So I was asking where is fuses for brain function lines? Not doubting you but would have expected that the function protection (fuse/breaker) would be the same if powered via a manual switch or by the brain?

Then again either your explanation or my expectation would not explain "if turned off by remote can not be controlled by manual switch?

Is there any brain docs on line?

Thanks.
