I seem to be a glutton for punishment with this stuff! Just had something happen and I'm trying to figure out the fix.
Just got back from our trip to Wisconsin and started unpacking at home. Put the jacks down and ran out the bedroom slide to get at the rest of what was in the hamper for laundry. When I went to run the slide back in, I could hear the motor run, and the hydraulic line hiss like it does to retract, but nothing happened - them my wife told me she saw red stuff dripping out from underneath (yay - hydraulic fluid).
Put down the organic soak up stuff and have been troubleshooting.
Currently, the bedroom slide is out and won't retract. The living room slide functions fine. I took off the panel under the bed, and there was some fluid that leaked as well.
I'm trying to get at something to either manually retract it, though the manual does not have great illustrations for which solenoid valve works with the rear bedroom, and which relief valve I should loosen in order to manually push it back in.
Wondering if I'm just too low on fluid at this point, and it won't go at all - but I can't check my levels in the tank till I get it all back in since it's pressurized, right?
This one sucks more than the AC issue!
