Looking for slide control box

Our 2015 30.1 ACE slide has messed up. Went to run the bedroom slide out and it came out about 4" and stopped crooked. Went back in, well almost, still a little crooked but front side is tight against the side. Got it home with no problem, the slide only blocks the cabinets and drawers on the bottom of the bedroom so not a big deal.
I am guessing the control box is under the bed but would like to know before I start taking things apart. I have watched some youtube videos about this repair and they all start with finding the control box. Looks like it should not be too difficult to fix just possibly tight confines. Would appreciate any help and/or suggestions, Jim.

My slide control is in storage bin on drivers side of coach.

BTW, are you leaving you finger on the button for 5 seconds after slide stops moving? I read somewhere this allows computer to do something to prevent your problem - I had slide problems when new and not since I do this.

I use slide lock all the time now since one time I was driving 65 and noticed front of slide was out 6 inches.

Yes always hold button for several seconds after hitting stops. Never had to use the slide locks. I looked in the storage compartment on driver's side storage which is directly under the bed and did not see it. I will look again but probably not for a few days, really busy for the weekend and thanks. Jim.

The slide control box is usually inside an exterior storage box. It maybe up high in the compartment and you have to look all around inside the compartment.

Since your bedroom slide is on the passenger side of the coach, look in the storage compartments under it, at the top of the compartment.

Figured I would post how everything went. I never did find the control box, watched youtube videos about resetting the slide and went with slide out a couple inches then back in. The first time it came back in I could see the side that wasn't coming in realign itself. Still did that several times, checked outside and both sides were tight against the side. Ran slide back and forth several times and everything was good. Jim.
