When I use the slide out it would stop I release the switch and push it again and start again now it doesn't work at all is there some kind of reset I need to do and where is that located ?
Switches are good has power out to motors but can't find fuse or contacts
This is caused by an in line circuit breaker tripping and resetting constantly. I had to go buy 2 new breakers for roughly $20 each. The are a Little plastic box with to threaded posts sticking out. Most of your wiring from the batteries will run directly to them. Once you replace them they should be good for several years. What causes them to trip is when your trying to put load on them with low battery power. The slide out motor is demanding more power than can be supplied which troops the breaker.and the more and more after this happens the weaker the breaker gets. Resulting in once again needing to replace these inline 12volt circuit breaker. Always remove the old ones to know what amperage you need to replace them with. If slides are hydraulic they are usually 40-50 amps. If the slide is electric motor on a worm gear. Then they will be between 15-30amp breakers. Beside to check before purchasing new ones as you cannot return 12v electrical parts at most RV supply stores.This is caused by an in line circuit breaker tripping and resetting constantly.

check that the slide control locks are not in position before pressing the button
they are there to stop the slide from sliding out when going around corners
Check for voltage on all your gfi's, might have a bad one. They do go bad. Some times a breaker looks like it's set and could be popped. When resetting make sure you flip it completely off before returning it to on position. It should be a little harder to reset than turning it off.
There is a fuse panel that houses the slide control and the leveling system. Check your manual for its location, but usually under the coach below the driver area...
check that both sides are moving evenly
from your statement only one side is moving and twisting the slides causing it to jam
if the action are screw threads , then it is possible that one side is not driving ( limit switch problem, no power etc)
If it is hydraulic check the ram operation on that side
(pin fallen out at end of ram)
there is a momentary three way two pole rocker switch used to activate the linier motors that move the slide out. the most commin problem is they use a switch that dosen't have a high enough amp rating and the contacts burn out quickly. it is very importent to release the switch immediatly after the slide stops motion going in or out or these switches burn out very fast.
They are usually located below the floor and would be accessed from underneath the coach. But check the power from the switch before removing the motor as unless you are near the ocean chances are that the motor is good. Usually the switch or the breaker fails.
There will be an inline circuit breaker that controls the power for the slide. Some are automatic reset and others have a small black button on the side that will need to be pushed in to reset. These are usually located in an outside storage compartment.
