You will need to check the 12VDC fuses first. Each slide should have it's own fuse for motor protection. If they are all good, are you able to access the wiring going to the motor? If so, have another person push the switch while you check for voltage going into the motor. If you have voltage, the motor may be shot.
Hopefully, you have the hand cranks that are supplied with the camper, you will need to find the spot where you access the motor to manually close the slide.
do you have the wrench that u can manually crank it out? if not try to bypass the switch with a 12 volt power source directly to the motor. take a a 12 volt battery and two leads and tap in to the motor. if that does not work. the motor could be bad.
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.
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.
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.
