I just discovered that my salon slide front locking pin mount is bent out at the bottom. Where the mounting plate is welded to the box tubing it has cracked at the bottom and the box tube is distorted. The lock unit is so bent that when extended the little stop plate that the valance mounts to just slides under it, then when the pin extends it misses the receiver hole. When retracted the pin goes into the hole on top of the slide but since it’s angled inwards it pushes the slide in about a half inch at the top
I have read on here that some people have capped the houses and just removed the pin. 
My question is what wiring jumper are needed to keep everything happy.

Bruce is the front or rear slide? A big thick piece of metal welded to a thin wall tubing throw in hydraulics and that pin can do some damage. Is your switch on the floor out of adjustment or perhaps in the center of the slide on the top there is a piece of metal that is to guide the slide into the proper position not going into the slot? In our coach the rear slide pins do nothing and this was done before my ownership but can say the prior owner caused a great deal of damage with not sequencing the pins correctly. If your hydraulics are good with no leaks I don't think it would move very easily so I'm for getting rid of them let's hear from someone that has more than I can offer.
