    Would it be ok if I moved the black wire in question to where the power wire was for the hyd. pump (at the bottom)?

    On a different thread, I asked the same question about the front jack electronic breaker re-setting. From that thread, and I will transpose rather than copy an paste tonight, the breaker is a 50 amp, and the system requirement is 80 amp, but in the interest of shaving $50 off the cost, the 50 amp breaker was installed by GD. Apparently installing the system required 80 amp breaker, which costs more, in place of the 50 amp, should fix the problem. I have only experienced it with retracting the forward jacks, but I bet money this fix will resolve the slide issue. I just have to sit still somewhere long enough to make that repair myself...

    Here is the Bussmann CB185-80 High-Amp Breaker that I put in.

    The slides and jacks do whatever they are supposed to do without hesitation.

    I worked maint. in the apartment industry for decades and breakers do get weaker, the more they're tripped. Some breakers could be tripped many, many times and they'd still hold while others would go back after tripping eight or ten times. And once in a great while we'd get one that would only trip a couple of times before it would just not hold. Not uncommon at all.

    In the RV Maint. Tech course that I took a couple of months ago they told us that the EMS (electrical management systems) are the same way......the more they shut down and reset, the weaker they get.

    Ken this doesn't look like it would fit in my breaker panel. Does this go in, someplace other than the breaker panel?

    It should be in the front basement area in the vicinity of the battery, hyd pump, etc.

    This picture is in the generator compartment on the left hand wall. The white plastic tank is the hydraulic fluid tank.



    See the other pictures above in this thread. KEN
