In the event the room will not retract at all, here’s what you need to do. For an electronic manual override, find the circuit board.
Press the “mode button” six times quickly, then press a seventh time and hold for approximately five seconds. Wait for the red and green lights to flash, then let go of the button. Go back inside and see if the switch on the control panel will bring the room back in. If that doesn’t work, then you need to do it yourself. On the control board, unplug both motors. Now you can move the room in the direction you need. For bigger walls, you may need some help. When pushing the wall, try to keep both sides even. When the wall is in, plug both motors back into the control board. This applies the brake for the motors and will keep the room locked in position while you’re on the road. In the event you’re unsuccessful pushing the wall in, on the outside, and at the top of the slide wall you’ll see two panhead screws. Take these screws out. Lift each motor up half inch or so and put the screws back in. Doing this disengages the gears, this will make the wall easier to push back in. On inside of coach.. put something on top of the slide room,like a 2 x4. This will act as a brake. If you run into issues and want to know exactly what’s going on, Check the controller for error codes. Here’s what the lights mean… For a fault specific to the motor, the green LED will flash once for Motor 1, and twice for Motor 2. The red LED will flash anywhere from two to nine times, depending on the error code. Here’s how to decipher the number of flashes… 2 is Battery drop out: Battery capacity low enough to drop below 6 volts while running. 3 - Low battery: Voltage below 8 volts at start of cycle. 4 High battery: Voltage greater than 18 volts. 5- Excessive motor current: High amperage, also indicated by 1 side of slide continually stalling. 6 Motor short circuit: Motor or wiring to motor has shorted out. 8 Hall signal not present: Encoder is not providing a signal. Usually a wiring problem. 9 Hall power short to ground: Power to encoder has been shorted to ground. Usually a wiring problem. When you have an error code you need to reset the board. To do that press the extend/retract buttons twice.
Once to reset, another to return to normal use. If you unable to correct the problem or you simply do not feel comfortable troubleshooting, please contact your Thor Motor Coach dealer.

being a tech myself,This is excellent information for many of you on the road ! Thank you for sharing with alll of us!
You're very welcome. Thanks for your work out there and thanks for watching.
Thanks for the excellent video, and very useful information! It helped us out in a pinch!
instablaster.
Seems like most errors are code 8 - wiring. Frequently around the head of the motor. Could you reinforce this area? Shrink tubing around wires to limit wire abrasion as the free floating motor moves around? Silicon the PCB board to wire connection?
Just trying to throw out ideas to improve the reliability of the system…
Very helpful, thanks
When I take the screws off to disengage the the gear, do I lift the motor up a half inch from the outside of the rv or inside?
Is there a separate circuit board for each slide? I have two slides and one works the other doesn't.
where is the slide controller located on a 2022 Four Winds 22B? The large bay under the bed is completely sealed. Paneling is stapled to the walls and the bottom of the bay has a black plastic liner. The ceiling of the bay has a solid sheet of paneling type material. There is a steel edge with about 12 screws between the paneling and the bottom black plastic liner.
Hi Terry. Here is a link to our Owners Resource page. Sing up, input your VIN and you can pull up every schematic and diagram about your Four Winds. thor.mizecx.com/cc/cpSignIn.html#sblox=none It's absolutely free and a fast and easy way to find information about your RV. You can also call Customer Service at (877) 855-2867 and they can help you find the bay it is in. Thanks - Steve
What motor coach years does this video pertain too? I have a 2007
Useful info. But, how do you determine which motor on a slide room is #1 or #2? Front to back as far as the room's orientation to the front of the RV?
How do you adjust room? It has tore my floor covering up.
I have a 2005 Thor Hurricane and both slides will not retract. I have a significant leak in the living room slide out that needs to be addressed. Would this video apply to my make and year?
Hi Kristen. That is a Lippert Components part that may have changed over the years. But I'm thinking the basic operations should be the same. If you call our Customer Service department they should be able to tell you more. Thanks, Steve
Mine continuously flashes (alternately) red and green (one flash each) - what does this mean?
Where is this module on a Heartland Sundance 283RB
Good morning! Thank you for watching and your question. Heartland RV is a sister company of ours, both owned by Thor Industries. Unfortunately, we do not have any direct affiliation with them, or knowledge on their construction. We'd suggest contacting them directly. You can reach their Customer Service team at 877-262-8032.
Do you have the information presented here in writing to share as a PDF or perhaps a link? Thank you.
Tom, here is the manual. lci-support-doc.s3.amazonaws.com/manuals/slideouts/ccd_0001602.pdf - Steve
@@ThorMotorCoach thanks. Extremely informative. I shared both the video and the pdf with my husband.
@@ThorMotorCoach That's a dead link.
Where is the circuit board in the basement? I have a class s 2020 quantum SE31 . First compartment behind generator on drivers side , has a grayish cover plate held on with 4 Phillips screws. I haven't removed that plate yet , is the motor circuit panel behind that plate
It varies from floorplan to floorplan. The unit for the slide does not have a cover, it's just like what you see in the video and should be easy to access. Our Customer Care team can pull up the schematics of your unit and pinpoint exactly where it is.. (877) 855-2867 Thanks for reaching out. - Steve
@@ThorMotorCoach i was a little silly and over looked the circuit board and found it a a week or two ago. i tried the button 6 times and hold the 7th. nothing worked and no flashing lights. i tried it a couple times. i unplugged the motor cables and no way it was moving by pushing, of course i was alone but still . gears must be locked, i looked for screwed to releases gears like video suggests and found nothing. i will be calling the Thor phone like as soon as i can get a day to do it, we have had rain and snow and cold weather here in bama and my rv is kept at my dads house, not mine. but here is the kicker. my rubber pad (button) has falling off and bracket holding the rubber button in place on the mother board is off also, i found them both but no way can i plug back in. too small for me. so the button plan is moot. any other suggestions before calling thor?
@@cmyoung1969 Go ahead an give our techs a call at (877) 855-2867... thanks - Steve
I have a schwintek slide that is out and can’t get it to operate,there seems to be no power to the box any suggestions
Hi Kevin, have you checked all your fuses and breakers? Are the lights on the control module for the slide flashing or does it appear to be dead? If the box is dead and the slide is out, remove the two white plastic plugs on each side of the box. This will release the motors and you (along with some help) can push the wall in. Plug the cables back in to lock the motors once the slide is in. Our customer care number is (877) 855-2867. - Steve
great info
Ok we tried to do the electric manual override, there are no flashing lights on the circuit board???
Please contact Customer Service (877) 855-2867 or live chat on thormotorcoach.com so they can help you out. - Steve
what is menant by lift the moter up a 1/2 inch on disengaging the system?
I agree what does that mean?
At 1:13 in the video, the announcer said "take the screws out, with each motor up a half inch or so, put the screws back in". What does that mean? "Each motor up a half inch or so"?????
This is good to know.
This is helpful but what about when there is zero lights?
You're status lights are not working? Here is a link to the manual. - lci-support-doc.s3.amazonaws.com/manuals/slideouts/ccd_0001602.pdf

When I went to put the slide out one side moved while the other did not which in turn made the rear edge pin against the wall . If I unplug the motors can I push it in ?
Hi Lou. With the motors unplugged you should be able to push it in. You may need a few friends. Have you tried to re-sync motors? - Steve
It's jammed up against the one wall . I will try when the weather breaks .
@@9caplad From your panel, if the wall is partly in, hit retract, extend, retract, extend, retract, extend. Hold each button down for two seconds. You want to hear the noise of the motor. Do this 6 times. 3 times on each- extend and retract.
This will re-sync the motors. - Steve
Can't find control box, 2013 aerolite schwin tec slide any ideas on where it is?????
Thank you this was helpfull
Glad it helped Don. - Steve
The best way is to have manufacturers stop using them. They are nothing but trouble.
Too bad they cant explain this when you purchase your new trailer. I heard many different stories, on how to override the system, different than this.
Not exactly correct on placing in over ride mode. When you press and hold the 7th time release the button as soon as the lights flash. If you hold too long like they did in the video the lights will go out and it will not be in over ride mode. When you release immediately the lights will flash for 1 minute while you go push the button to retract the slide
Im not getting any lights to flash on this. Is the box faulty? And my slide is stuck out...
That is what is happening to me. How did you fix?
