Slide goes out but not in.

Post by bradybr on 9/14/2010, 5:29 am

I'm somewhat new to your forum, and a newby with my FR Wildcat. The issue I have, however, is that I just returned home from a great weekend, and began cleaning up the WC. At the end of the cleaning, I attempted to retract the slide and it didn't come in. Not even a sound. I thought it might be a breaker, but when I push the switch to completely extend the slide, it will go out more. Any clues or suggestions? So sorry for what may be a duplication of forum posting.

Thanks. Bob

I think it could be a switch, or even a loose wire. If its hydraulic the pump is obviously working and the same goes for an electric slide. Let us know what type it is then forum uses with that type of slide might have a quick and easy answer.

Sean, thanks so much for your quick response. It is hydraulic and it does appear the pump works. I will check the switch and the wiring. Thanks again.

Mine has a secondary switch at the pump. You may be able to use it until you figure out the problem if it is a switch or wire.

Good Luck

here is a link to the same sort of problem. But still let us know how you get on. Don't for get that you landing legs work on the same pump, You could try to see if they are going up and down a little bit.

Thank you all very much. I will take some time tonight and check the whole system out. You've given me some great suggestions for troubleshooting.

Bob I have just noticed the age of your Cat is it still under warranty?
If it is check out with the dealer first.

Good point, Sean! I will do that, because I'm sure it is still under warranty.

Thanks, Sean.
