Tested today:
- Fuses F1 through F7 all tested good with continuity tester
- disconnected the Room 2 EXTEND solenoid wiring (based on Newell sticker)
- disconnected the Room 2 RETRACT solenoid wiring (based on Newell sticker)
- turned Room 2 key ON
- auxiliary suction pump for Room 2 came ON
- yellow light came ON after about 30 seconds
- auxiliary suction pump for Room 2 turned OFF automatically
Tested by pushing in Room 2 Slide button to EXTEND
- Hydraulic pump in HWH control bay came ON until button was let go - ran for about 10 seconds but nothing moved in the room
I also tried checking for voltage at the connector that leads to the Room 2 solenoids for the EXTEND (and retract) but could not get any voltage - I tried my trusty bulb tester and also the digital volt meter to no avail - never got out of mAmps range… I tested by having my wife push the EXTEND button for a second while I had the tester on the wires… maybe these are low-voltage wires???
As a side note: based on testing the front Room 1 slide it seems that lock pins activate when the key is turned on/off at the EXTEND/RETRACT button - does that sound correct? Was going completely off the ‘sound’ of the slide pins moving from outside so it could have been something else…
