New to me 2016 momentum 397TH toy hauler getting ready to pack it up for our first camping trip, wrong batteries were provided. They were a series 4 they needed to be a series 7 or something like that anyway got the correct batteries from Camping world they did replace them for free, put the new batteries in went to try the slide switch no power to any of the slides check the fuses no fuses blown power to everything else but not the slides. Please help.
 
We don't have hydraulics but have read there is a fuse that is supposed to be 80 amp but isn't. Do a search on 80 amp fuse and you'll bring up where to look for the fuse.
 
Just my .02
I don't know the specifics of your rig but - Power for the slides usually comes off a bus bar located right next to the batteries. The wires for the slide motor(s) whether electric rack or schwintek or hydraulic pump come off the battery bus bar with auto reset breakers and it's before power gets to the battery cut off switch. As mentioned, if hydraulic, there is a reset breaker controlling power to the hydraulic pump motor. Check to see if power is getting to the hydraulic pump motor.

Also since , I assume, the slides were working before the batteries were changed, that's an indication to me the problem occured when the batteries were changed, I start looking there and check Holiday World's installation. Also I would look at the state of charge of the new batteries. Low SOC on the batteries usually slides will not move or move very little.
