I can only imagine how frustrating this is.
Let me dig around in my email files. I sent Jack a logic flow of what happens in the sequence. That logic flow may help you.
Ok, from your comments, we can deduce. The units have power, the key switches are working and have power, the pump comes on and has power.
Is it safe to assume that the coach has a box with a plexi cover that shows indicator lights? Do you have any documents that show you what those lights indicate? That is where I would start. I would also focus on ONE slideout at a time, otherwise it becomes too convoluted.
I have to ask a really stupid question. Has the fluid level been confirmed in the reservoir? Has anyone confirmed what the output pressure of the hyd pump might be?
What I don't know is if the slideouts were malfunctioning when you first touched the coach? Or they were functioning correctly and then failed. I comment because IF someone touched it before you, we DO NOT know what another person may have done, modified, or most likely connected in the wrong way. Having pulled those boxes in the tight place and fretting about connections, I can appreciate how easily a mis connection can happen. It is worse because the connectors allow this. Do you have any thoughts or insight?
Does the silver cover on the control box have a schematic pasted upon the inside?
Please don't take any questions in the wrong way. The armchair mechanics don't have the coach to view or the history to rely upon.
Jesse White recently had a front tire blowout which wreaked havoc on the HWH wiring. He had to manually (hotwire) the different solenoids to get the rooms to activate. Let's see if we can't recruit him.
