Slide issue

I have a 2018 Winnebago vista with a football slide and I’m just wondering if anybody has had this problem. I start our RV for the night at the casino parking lot went for a little walk came back to the RV and decided I was going to level it and put out the slide so I went to start the motorhome up and all of a sudden the slide started to go out I quickly turn the motor off waited a couple minutes turned it back on without hitting the switch or anything the slide continue to go out once it was all the way out the slide would not come back in again. So I had to bring it in manually which was not fun to do and now I got to figure out what is causing this anybody has any suggestions it would be great or if it’s ever happened to him this way before by going out all on its own without hitting the slide switch. Thanks

It’s a typo for a Full-Wall Slide. Likely via an “auto correct” post on a phone.

I am wondering if your switch is malfunctioning and hung resulting in it being shorted to the "on" position. If not, it sure sounds like a control board or solenoid failure. Its hard to tell not knowing the type of slide system (i.e. Digisync ram, Powergear slim rack, or Schwinteck). It could be in other areas of the system. It would also be helpful to know how the switches on the panel are set up, such as is there a master key and are the switches rocker or push panel?

Sorry not much help but hopefully someone else can weigh in and offer some troubleshooting tips or how they responded to a similar experience. Slides can be difficult at times and repairing them may require some expertise. Also there is lot of info available on the Lippert/Powergear web site, assuming that's the manufacturer of the system you have.. It sort of depends on how comfortable you are in trying to fix this yourself.
