Default Slid out don't work

I have a 2011 210WSB and the slid wont go out. It is currently in the in position. Acts like it has no power. All other power stuff works. Power tongue jack, power stabilizers, all lights, ect, so the battery is good.
I have it plugged in to shore power. Checked the all the fuses I can find, wiring at the battery, traced wires as far as I can.
I can not find the slide out motor, or if there is an in line fuse, I can't find it either, or any way to operate manually.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The slide brand is probably Schwintek. You can Google the brand for a user manual. The motors are in the wall edges right and left of the slide "box" but it is probably a bad idea to even think about them until you have eliminated all other possible causes. There are lots of posts on this forum regarding slide issues. You can find them by using the search button. Others with much more knowledge than I will soon post answers for you.

Copied from another post I made on this forum:

Since it's typically rare to see anyone not complaining about their TT in most forums, I thought I would share this. We took our new 2015 265RBSS out for it's first real trip last week. We ventured to Memphis for some blues and BBQ and stayed at the Memphis Jellystone RV Resort which I highly recommend. Back to the FF though, when de-winterizing for this trip, I found that the slide would not go out. One side was moving out normally and the other side would move an inch or two then both would stop. I accessed the slide controller under the bathroom sink and it was flashing the code for "Hall Sensor Shorted". I removed the connectors leading to the motors and checked the wires with a multimeter and found neither of them to be shorted.

I then was gradually able to move the slide out far enough to get to the seal on the offending side and pull it down enough to access the motor. There are a number of youtube videos on how to remove/replace these motors on the Schwintek/Lippert slideouts including one on the Lippert website. Once I had access to the motor, I found that 2 of the sensor wires on the motor harness had broken off right where they were stripped back for soldering to the little circuit board for the Hall Effect sensor. Most likely due to being cut too deeply when they were stripped. Since my dealer is 250 miles away, I called Lippert and was able to arrange a replacement to be sent to me. It took less than an hour to replace and now the slide operates perfectly and I still have the old motor which I repaired for a spare.

Thanks for all of the replies.
I have searched everywhere for the control board.
It is not under the kitchen sink, or bathroom sink.
I suspect that it is in the bottom of the wardrobe that is blocked by the slide, when it is in the closed position. I can't get to one of the motors when it is closed.
I will have to take it to a dealer.
