Will Replacement Solenoid Fix Weak Hydraulic Slide-Out

Updated 06/18/2018 | Published 06/16/2018

Question:

I have a 2007 Keystone Challenger 5th wheel with 4 slides. When opening and closing the slides it stops and clicks near the motor If you wait for 30 seconds it will continue operation until all slides are in or out. It appears there is a breaker built in to this switch that kicks in and out and is getting weak. Can you tell me if this is true and if the replacement of this part will remedy this? Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.

There is a solenoid like in your photo, and it is possible that Replacement Solenoid # LC118246 will fix your issue.

I'm guessing that when opening and closing, doing so one way is causing more problems than the other. If so, what you can do is switch the wiring between the two cylinders to see if the same thing happens, but in reverse, which would indicate the solenoid being the problem and the Replacement Solenoid # LC118246 being what you would need to remedy the problem.
