My hydraulic slide definitely does not have a locking pin. And the solenoid count aligns with that. There are 12 solenoids:
2 for the flat floor
2 for the front slide
2 for the front slide locking pins
2 for the rear slide
2 for the rear slide locking pins
2 for the generator slide
I am now thinking that the fact that the generator slid out is confirmation that my issue is with the ram leaking and not a leaking hose. A leaking hose would only leak on one end of the ram. Capping both ends would still not allow the generator to slide in that case. But a leaking ram, if it allowed fluid to flow between the 2 ends of the ram certainly could.
Newell told me that they will just send the ram to HWH for rebuild rather than rebuild it themselves. I have an appointment at HWH, but I might go to Newell anyways as I have a few other tasks I'd like them to perform anyways.
