Re: How do I manually close the slideout on a 2015...
There is a gear under the slide some units have a hole to slide the wrench "provided" in it and turn the crank when it starts moving if you have 2 holes on it most do you will have to move it in equally

Check to ensure nothing is blocking the slideout, its path or the gears of the motor. If you don't see a dimming of the lights when you push the retraction button or don't hear any motor noise check the fuse for the slideout motor. If all else fails there should be a manual slide retraction option somewhere that allows you to retract the slideout using a crank or a power drill. Check the owner's manual.
Check to be sure there is no debris in that area and that the rubber weather stripping isn't loose or stuck. Oftentimes tree leaves and small branches can fall and block the area, stopping the slideout from closing completely.
Every slide out has a manual override for the motors. You should be able to call the dealer you purchased it from and they will tell you where it is. You can then adjust it back to a closed position and use it normally.
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.
Not sure what kind of trailer you have, but the fuses should be behind a metal cover - for mine, its located under the refrigerator. When you open it, you will see all of the fuses. Hopefully, they are labeled, but don't bet on it. Use a meter to check the fuses - put the meter tip on each side of the fuse, with the meter on volts. If you read 12 - 14 volts, the fuse is blown. A good fuse will not show any voltage.
If you can't find the fuse box, when you have the camper plugged into AC, turn on all the lights - the fan that cools the inverter should come on - follow that sound and you will find the fuses. Good Luck
