I haven't started to troubleshoot, but it seems to me that that if there was a real problem, the slide would either not work, or only one motor would work which would result in a very uneven motion of the slide.

Anyone seen this behavior?

One other issue is that occurs with both slides is that if the slide has been closed for some time, pressing the open switch won't work until I press the close switch. When I push the close switch, the slide will move in another 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Then the slides will open. When closing the slide we always hold the switch down for 10-15 seconds in order to synch the motors. Its acting like it thinks the slide isn't closed all the way. Comments?
I've noticed the same on our 17 Challenger 37 TB.
