Slide help

I need help retracting my full wall slide on a 2017 Thor Aria 3901.

Vroom slides are in my future but right now I need to get this slide in so I can get on the road.

I used the controller to override and the front motor will not move. The controller code says there's a short between the controller and the front motor.

Any tricks tips thoughts that I can try to try to get this thing in?

Look up the manual procedure for you slide and use it. When my slide failed I wrung my hands for an hour then got down to it and was able to disconnect the motors and push the slide in by hand. It was surprisingly easy. On my next coach I learned the procedure and practiced it when I had time and a nice day. Never worried about my slide after that. Good luck.

Well it turns out that the screw holding the motor down ate through the motor housing and the motor was free spinning. I was able to gain access to the motor and troubleshoot the problem. luckily a tech was able to come out and powered to motor directly and got the slide in.

Vroom: apparently there is a problem getting Vroom parts. No parts no installs.

I am on the list in Texas when they get the parts. in the meantime I will install a new motor and hope for the best.
