So this seems very strange...
Went to test voltage on the connector labelled "Retract". Disconnected it, hooked up my voltmeter to the coach side of the connector and had Kelly try to retract the slide.
I didn't see any voltage on the connector (checked AC and DC -- I assume it's a 12VDC solenoid but checked AC to be sure).
But the really weird part -- with the Retract connector disconnected, the slide came half way in when Kelly hit Retract. But then it stopped and didn't go further.
At that point, we were able to Retract half way as long as the connector was disconnected. When I connected it again, it would not retract. Disconnect it and it would - half way. That worked about 3 times and then it stopped retracting at all, even with the connector disconnected.
At no point have I been able to see any voltage at the connector though.
