  • Salon (front) slide won’t extend 2006 XL2 CC

    Posted by MICHAEL on July 1, 2019 at 7:58 pm

    We are currently in Foxboro Mass and are having a problem with our Salon slide on our 2006 Prevost Country Coach. It worked fine in/out on our trip from Florida, but when we arrived here it will not extend. I’ve been working with both Prevost and Tradewinds on the diagnosis today, but thus far no luck. Here’s the current status:

    – These are Prevost Slides, done by Prevost, not the converter

    – Slide will not extend, rear bedroom slide works fine

    – Have checked the main breakers – they are fine

    – Have checked and reset (a few times) the six breakers in the slide electronics bay and tested voltage on both sides of the breakers – all good

    – The control panel for the slide has indicator lights to indicate whether the slide pins are “locked” or “unlocked”

    – The indicator lights on the control panel are indicating that the two upper pins (middle and top) are “unlocked” and the two bottom pins are “locked”

    – However, on physical inspection, it looks like ALL the pins are locked. Further, when locking or unlocking the pins manually using the manifold in the bay (FPL, or FPU functions), the pins DO indeed move in and out. i.e. they lock and unlock – all of them. However, the controller continues to indicate that the four upper pins are not locked.

    – The “in and out” switch is not functioning at all, however, it does have voltage to both sides of the switch

    Any insight would be appreciated. It seems like New England has a void of expertise in Prevost as the closest Prevost service center is in New Jersey.

    Have you tried calling Prevost PASS?

    800-463-7738

    There should be operators waiting to take your call.

    I had trouble once with my rear slide did that. I checked in the bay where the controls are and found a ground wire a little lose, tighten it up and all was good, that was 6 yrs ago,worth a try

    He’s talking to Prevost Dick, he said that..

    Run it out manually and see if it works itself out, maybe a sensor out of whack.

    Hello Everyone;

    Thank you VERY much for your timely replies and advice. Here’s an update.

    We were able to manually extend the slide using the override procedure, thus at the moment, all is well. We are hoping that once we run the slide in using the override procedure that the situation will have resolved itself.

    Regards;

    Mike
