Another slideout question

Hi all,
So I have a 2012 Laredo 265 RL I’m working on, by any chance, does anyone have experience in finding the Lippert slide controller? I’ve removed the stereo and I appears that the wires going to the slide in and out switch are wire tied to the 12vdc feed coming from the breaker in the battery compartment. Or was it possible that the factory was using the auto reset breaker to current limit when the slide hits all the way out or in?

There should be a mechanical overload for the slide in or out limit, you should hear it click. The auto reset breaker should only trip on a extreme current overload. This could include a short, low voltage, mechanical binding of components etc. The switch is the controller, simply reversing polarity to the motor.

Thanks for the quick reply guys. So it’s a through frame Lippert electric actuator type attached is what my actuator looked like when I removed it, the pin was sheared off on the motor side, and a buffer spring of some sorts was broke. The mounting bracket was pretty twisted up too. Makes me think the controller has been removed and there’s no current limiting anymore
