So it seems if I stop retracting then start again to finish the cycle, the extend (yes extend)side of the momentary switch fails. When I push the extend side nothing happens, but if I push the retract side again, quickly just to see what happens, I can hear a solenoid or something click.
Now when I replace the switch, everything is OK...Now for the heck of it I did a continuity test and both sides of the switch and have continuity. The multimeter shows .6 ohms on both sides so the switch should be ok... The rig is a 2020 Jayco 26XD. The switch is a JR Products 12695 Mom-on/off/Mom-on seems like a very light duty switch for this size slide but that is what the factory installed.
I'm missing something here..

The switch only send control signal
Your problem is with the relays or control board

Loose connection on one of the wires?
Does the switch connections have any dark spots?
You may have knocked a piece of debris off a contact in the switch.

The problem is more likely the slide out controller.. The problem is where the )Q(#@*$U#@! they hide those things.. I've had 2 controllers fail me.
Home is where I park it.

I'm bringing it in on Sept 23, for the first round of warranty work. I really want to be more familiar with the possibilities so I can tell if they are being straight with me. Good suggestion with the connections I'll double Check them.at least I know how to get the thing to work again. The main reason for the warranty appointment is to take care of the bolts pushing up through the floor....

If the slide is hanging up, the circuit breaker could be tripping and resetting. Bolts pushing up through the floor could be indication (if they are for slide).

FWIW, I have spent tons of time on a top to bottom scavenger hunt (even using a remote camera) trying to find my ‘ supposed slide controller’ with the same momentary switch with no luck whatsoever...Former Camper manufacture (now defunct) POC employee had no idea either...On an older thread I can recall one seemingly knowledgable individual say that his camper’s same maker PowerGear Slide-out set-up had no such controller... So far, no troubles for me (fingers crossed) but I’m still in the dark...

It may not have a controller. Some have two relays to operate in/out function.
Is your slide electric or hydraulic?

Thanks soooo much!!... it’s electric, and as near as I can determine (right, wrong or otherwise- lol), the motor shut down (which works faithfully) is governed only by say a higher amp end-of-travel stoppage condition ....However, Can’t say with any certitude whether this is actually a true statement...

Mine is electric too. I agree that this floor situation is part of, or maybe the reason for this failure. The dealer I bought the RV from has a very good reputation as far as warranty work goes. We'll see I guess. As I said this has happened twice so far. I'm heading out tomorrow for a week across northern New England. If it happens again I'm going to swap the load wire positions and see what happens. I haven't heard anything binding and the RV is level.
