No electrical power in slideout

[True north]

So I’ve inspected the wiring underneath the slide and it looks good. Short of pulling things apart I figure I have done all I can do so I hooked up the 12v wire just to see what would happen. Well the fridge is working now. And I have a 10 amp fuse in the panel because I ran out of 15’s.
any thoughts on why it’s working now?

No, don't know why it does that.
Hard to troubleshoot a fuse that blows right away, then later the equipment starts working.

Wiggling wire can sometimes clear a problem. Not really considered a "fix".

I had a similar situation. To make a long story short, my furnace and refer are on the same 12VDC circuit. When my refer quit, it was a burned junction block at the furnace, the furnace still worked, everything was dead after the furnace. Unless you have 12VDC to power the on/off switch, your refer will not run. That one had a Dometic tech and the factory totally baffled.
