Spent the day figuring out exactly what is wrong with the larger kitchen slide on my 29fe. The controller error codes tell me the hall switch is not working on motor 2. The manual suggests that it is a wiring problem. I have had some problems since day one, overcoming them with the sync function and manual over ride functions. Now it is a PITA.
I don't want to make a couple hundred mile round trip back to CW and would rather fix it myself. So I begin by ringing out the slide cable from the controller to motor #2. There appears to be a break in the cable on blue (hall signal) and brown (hall power}. Ok, fine but where. Most of the cable is routed under the slide floor against the wall. So I started to look for some sort of physical damage. There are places along the wire route that can not be visually inspected. Complicating matters, the areas I could see have wire ties screwed to the floor and no way to reach them. So getting to the cable to inspect and repair is on the impossible side thus far.
If I can get CW or Thor to send me a replacement cable, I'll clip the original and run it along side. It's just that I'd like to know what caused the break so it does not happen again. Also I absolutely dread CW messing with it. Probably keep the it a few months messing with it when I already know what's wrong with it.
