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.
