Prevost Slides
A friend of mine just bought a 06 XL 45 with 2 slides on driver side. He bought it in Texas and on the way back he said he let up on the slide button before it finished and it went into a fault and would not move, he finally went to the manual method to get it in, now he says it has to be reset to work again, Does anyone know how to reset system.

Because of the potential problem of pins misfiring and doing a lot of damage $$$$$ I would strongly urge he contact Prevost and have them walk him through the process. I suggest that because there are numerous versions of slides and not all conversions are registered or titled based on chassis year. He needs to have his VIN ready.

He said the rods can break the glass and big bucks to fix it

Replacing the glass is the cheapest part of the repair if everything turns to tapioca. The pins will also damage the slide skin and now the entire slide gets to come out of the coach so the slide can be reskinned and painted.
That is why I will NEVER tell anyone how to manually open or close a slide because I am not paying for any slide repairs.

Yup. What Jon said in spades! The same thing happened to us last year. I called Prevost one Saturday morning and they walked me through ‘manually’ retracting the slide at an RV park. Not hard to do but the sequence of steps is the key. It seems that stopping the slide early (releasing the button) messed up the retraction process. Once I had the slide back in I ran it a few times with Prevost still on the phone. All worked well. The Prevost tech was great.
I once had pins firing at the wrong time after Jeff installed a new but defective Prevost air block/manifold. Thanks to Jeff’s unwavering dedication to solving a problem and Josh’s rewiring the new part correctly all was well again. Whoever built the block for Prevost had goofed causing a pin to fire through a wooden part, fortunately. John rebuilt the section. What a team!
