2004 Four Winds Windsport breaker panel

Hi.

We just purchased a 2004 Four Winds Windsport 36Z. When we got her home, the dinette/sofa slide got hung on the driver seat for a few seconds (I know - newbie mistake !). Now, neither the main slide nor the bedroom slide will operate. I can hear the lock/unlock screw operate, but neither slide will do anything.

I am assuming (hoping) that there is a tripped slide breaker or breakers. My question: where is the breaker panel on this model ?? I have looked high and low, but damned if I can find it.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

John

On both my 2000 Infinity and 2014 Hurricane - the 110v breakers and 12v coach fuses are under the bed - check along the foot of the bed for a couple of small access doors...

In the case of the slides - you are looking at 12v fuses.
(I expect it isn't anything on the slide controller - as that would only take out one of the slides - and not both.)

Thanks Greg - I'll check that in the morning. Will the panels be accessible even with the slide stuck in the retracted position ? The foot of that queen-size bed is right up against the vanity drawers.

Well... not necessarily easily... The slide doesn't move the base of the bed - just the mattress platform - so there is an opening below the mattress the same width as with the slide out. But you will be laying down with a flashlight to see anything.

Update: had to have the HWH leveling system turned "on". This model apparently has one control circuit for all hydraulic systems.

Thanks for the help!

Interesting... I wouldn't have guessed that - since my rigs slides are mechanical and not hydraulic. (the 2000 was 'slideless')

Glad it was something that simple.
