I have a similar problem Lippert controller code is displaying 2 green lights and 8 red lights I believe I have isolated the problem to a motor. My slide will come out 2 inches and in 2 inches. Is there a way to move the slideout manually because I am stuck. I can't work on the slide until I have enough room to remove the retention screw. It seems the manual over ride only works in one scenario. Pushing the slide is like pushing a car in park.
@KayGar Based on your comment, it sounds like you have an issue with motor 2. I assume you already went into the override mode and that didn't work? Again, based on your comment, my guess is motor 2 is not functioning and when you try to extend your slide, the motor 1 side goes out further than the motor 2 side and causing the the slide to jam. Eight red lights usually mean "Wire Short Between Controller and Motor". Have you tried to switch the motor 1 and motor 2 connections at the controller to see if the error code changes to motor 1? If so, it would most likely be a wiring issue. Couple other things to check: 1. Have you tried to access the retention screws from the outside of the RV? 2. Have you checked to make sure nothing is in the tracks or any obstructions under the floor that would prohibit the slide from extending? Here is a link to some Lippert troubleshooting videos and manuals, that may give you some additional troubleshooting ideas. support.lci1.com/in-wall-slide-out Hope this helps some Dan
@troybellair507 By a 1/3 code, I assume you mean motor 1 has a Low Battery code of 3? A fault code of 3 means there is less than 8V DC at the start of a cycle. Can you verify the voltage going to the controller? If that is good, can you verify the voltage going to battery 1? Dan
Our trailor 6 yrs old 2 10 ft slides door side has been a problem from day 2 motors repace 4x by dealer purchase new from last 5 yrs use only as winter Texan so have to push it in one time now in 2025 will replace that junk with the VROOM drive so my wife will not have to worry about it even at dealer override was not depenable thanks husband
@maryleahy9298 So sorry about your troubles with your slides! We're not sure what "VROOM" is, but we wish you all the best! Thanks for watching. Have a great day! Deena & Dan
Hi Dan, if I have a code #8, “a short between the slide control module and the slide” do you know what the procedures to fix are? Thanks in advance! Rick
@HighFlyerU2 this could be something like the cable going to one of the motors got pinched or shorted to ground. To verify, I would switch the cables from motor 1 and motor 2 going into the controller. (Put motor 1 connector into motor 2 connector and motor 2 connector into motor 1). If the fault code now shows the other motor, then you just confirmed it is a cable issue and most likely need to replace the cable. Here is a link to some good troubleshooting videos from Lippert: support.lci1.com/in-wall-slide-out Hope this helps and good luck Dan
I had the exact same error code to the #2 motor this summer on our brand-new travel trailer. Took the multi meter and checked the wire continuity. Continuity was fine, so no broken or loose wires. I replaced the #2 motor after trouble shooting, and the slide out works great. My Conclusion: #2 Schwintek motor failure.
Thanks for the video - very helpful! We developed a problem by trying to run the slides out with a low battery so the slides don't go out evenly. On the way out, one end seems to stop and I need to hold the button for the other end to go the final couple of inches. I've tried the in/out in/out process a few times but not sure it has corrected it as I think the controller is out of sync with the rotation counts. Couple of questions then if I may: 1/ does putting the controller into manual mode make it forget about the turn counts and so if the slide is completely all the way in we should be ok again if we put it in and out of manual mode? 2/ can you disconnect one of the motors from the controller to run just one of motors to line things up properly? Any help much appreciated!
@paulhampton1362 The manual override just provides 12v directly to the motors, it does not keep the motors in sync. I have never tried to disconnect one motor but I don't see why you couldn't, just be careful not to get the slide too far out of sync. Lippert has some good videos that may help explain things better than I can, check out this website support.lci1.com/in-wall-slide-out and click on the "Videos" menu option. There are a few troubleshooting videos that I think will help you. Please let us know if the videos helped, it might help others also Good Luck Dan
Good Tutorial Dan. What would I do if I have one motor that has gone bad completely. Manual override won't work in that case. Can one side be pushed in while the other side is brought in by the motor?
@robh063 That might be possible if you can keep the slide aligned and the sensors are bypassed. The other way is to disengage both motors and push the slide in. I've never tried it, and honestly hope I never have to, but in a pinch, it will work. Dan
@QuadTap thank you for watching our video, hope it helps. The note below came from the Schwintek owners manual. From owners manual: "Note: It is important to continue to press the slide-out switch for a few seconds after the room is fully retracted until the motor shuts off. The control will sense that the room has stopped and will shut off the motor after a few seconds." hope this helps Dan
@@RiversToRidgesRV 100% that helps thanks! I always tried to time the button release at its final destination, fearing overrun.. didn't know it would stop itself!
@user-xh9oq1jx6b Thanks Rick! Although she is going through extended treatment (no chemo or radiation Thank God!), Ashley is feeling really good & we are hopeful her scans in October will be the best news. You guys are so thoughtful to ask - thank you so much.🩷🙏✝️
My problem is that if I allow the wardrobe to fully extend, it is pulling the face frame off of the cabinet. How can i change the system to stop the motors earlier. With this situation I can never resync and I must manually stop the slide. I also worry that it will not seal properly if I do not extend all the way.
@williamvann9338 I've never run across that issue, so I can't answer your question. However, here is a link to some Lippert support videos and manuals: support.lci1.com/in-wall-slide-out If you click on the 'Manuals' tab, then select the 'In-Wall® Slide-Out OEM Installation Manual' it should have the information you're looking for. On page 19 of the manual, it mentions the 'stop bracket'. I didn't read the whole manual, but it should cover how to adjust the slide. The videos are also a good reference, but I don't think there is a video for your issue. Hope this helps, and good luck Dan
So I understood your process for going into manual mode. But now I ran out all the way out, then in a few inches and back out and then in all the way. They are still not syncing. Done this process 5 times with no different results. Ideas?
@toomuchpride005 are you holding the switch down until the motors stop all the way? Here is a link to some Lippert videos that explain the same process and how to troubleshoot other issues, hope this helps. support.lci1.com/in-wall-slide-out Good Luck Dan
@bornpatriot4657 I found this manual on the Lippert website which has some great information in it. Take a look at page 10, it has some information on your fault code. chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/lci-support-doc.s3.amazonaws.com/manuals/slideouts/in-wall/ccd-0001602.pdf Sounds like you might have a wiring problem, you could start by disconnecting the wire to motor 1 to see if the fault goes away.

I’m a first time rv owner as of last week! I won at auction the Crusier 2017 Stryker toy hauler we wanted! Problem is after replacing the battery and making sure it was completely level the only small slide out still won’t go in! I have the exact system as you show on this video. One green flash and 8 red flash. When I do the 6 puches and hold for the 7th then hit the wall switch nothing not even a noise. I should have left almost a week ago and I’m now past desperate to get this in to drive 350 miles Please help me! How do I manually get it in when the electric manual override doesn’t work. Any advice on that error code? Thank you in advance for your and helping me get on the road!
@rachelsedely7361 congratulations on winning the auction, sorry for the issue you are having. If I understand correctly, you have 1 green flash and 8 red flashes? That error code is usually due to a "Wire Short Between Controller and Motor" and causes the Encoder not to send a signal. If you want to verify it actually is a wiring problem you could try to visually check the wires to see if they are pinched or damaged somewhere. You could also switch the connectors that go into the controller for motor 1 and motor 2 and see if the error code changes over to motor 2. If that is the case then you verified it is something in the wiring. There is a way to disengage the motors so you can physically push in the slide but it would be too hard to explain here. If you would like, send me an email to RiversToRidgesRV@gmail.com and I'll send you a couple manuals that can explain different troubleshooting techniques. Hope this helps Dan

Thanks for replying it was the motor. I could not open the slide more then two inches even on override. It is now repaired by a tech.
Glad you were able to get it fixed. Do you know how the tech was able to open the slide enough to replace the motor?

Should you always hold the switch till the motors stop when operating either in or out... I've always been afraid of over running it.
