Room slide issue 2011 Meridian 34Y
My 2011 Itasca Meridian 34Y has 2 Powergear DigiSync room slides that will not retract when fully extended. One is full length slide on drivers side and one is a smaller one passenger side salon area that holds the sofa. The control buttons are at opposite ends of the RV. The error message is the same on both, Fault type: Major. Description: No signal or sensor wire. Probable cause: Bad wire connection or sensor. Possible solutions: Repair bad wire connection or replace motor.
Luckily, I can retract the slide by using the manual override which entrails removing the wall mounted switch plates and pushing and holding the "Set Stops/Clear Fault button on the back side of the switch plate until 2 red lights begin flashing on the front of the plate. Then, by engaging the in and out buttons simultaniously, the slide will retract all the way. Once retracted, I am able to extend the slides by pushing the out button as usual. If I stop the slide at any time before fully extended, I have no problem retracting as normal. If fully extended, I will have to use the manual override method. On my last trip, I always stopped the slide an inch or two before fully extended. This made life easy but I would like to find and fix the problem. How to diagnose this?
