I manage to get it removed with one of those little right angle screw drivers and a lot of talking to it.

I mounted it next to the recently relocated controller so I guess if have a spare.

I had forgotten all about it until this topic began.

Hot dang!! One for the good guys finally

I suppose.

You can see where one of the plugs on the "spare" is bent (but not broken) . It appears that they made an attempt to hook it up but failed.

In relocating the other I had to unplug wires and re-route them so they would be long enough to move it were I did.

Idiots.

AWSOME! And I thought I was the lucky one when I found 3 extra 90* ABS fittings behind my wall.... guess I will pull it again and look up this time..

I don't have a hyd. pump but I did mount a inverter on the ceiling in the front compartment. Guess I looked right at the controller & forgot about it.

Glad I gave this slide a read through... My main slide, with the couch, hiccuped on the final leg of our trip. I got to looking at the way it mates to the wall, which allows for some flexing and the guide shoe to slide out at the motor. Long story short, I have a bunch of broken screw heads, which is letting the wall flex, they are #10x1.5, I am going to pull the slide part ways in tomorrow to reset the shoe, and replace all the screws with #14x1.5 screws with 3/8 heads. I will follow your reset procedure instead of running in/out several times. I believe this will fix my problem. I will start another thread when completed with results.
