No, Hydraulic slides have a "mega breaker" located up front near the hydraulic pump. Typically it's either a 50, 60 or 80 amp DC breaker. Once hydraulic power is developed by the pump, it's a matter of opening/closing valves to control pressure to the rams that extend/retract the slides. There's no "electrical control" on most hydraulic systems. On some "luxury trailers" there are electric solenoids that open/close the hydraulic valves rather than manual control, but I don't think Keystone uses that type of system, at least I haven't seen one in a Keystone RV.
