Troubleshooting Slide-Out Function Where Solenoid Clicks But Doesnt Move Motor
Question:
When I push button to slide the slide outs out the solenoid clicks but nothing I can put jumper cables from my truck to the motor side of solenoid and and slides run in and out just fine and battery power for camper is fully charged just clicks on electric power as well but if I hook cables from truck to wires going to motor all works fine with solenoid clicking you think it is bad or ground problem think you sir

Expert Reply:
It sounds like the ground isn't the issue because you bypass that with the cables and still have the clicking of the solenoid # LC118246. It sounds like the solenoid has gone bad and needs replacing. You have confirmed the motor works, so I'd start with testing that solenoid. I recommend testing it using a multimeter like # PT89ZR to see if you are getting the proper voltage before and after the pins. That will also help you further determine if the ground connection is an issue.
