Got the Slide Working Again

WHERE ARE WE? Numero Uno RV Park, La Penita, Mexico

Today I did some work on the slide that won't move on one side.  When I got into the guts of the motor and wiring I found that the screw that was sticking out had sheared off a 6 pin connection to the motor.  Oh oh.  I did a little YouTubing and found out that all I have to hook up to make the slide work is the red and black wire.  That will be possible with a little bit of solder. 

This connection was soldered originally to the motor

So I soldered the red and black wires back together and got the motor back in place.  Sure enough it works enough to get the slide back out.  I will have to override all the safety features on the controller to make it actually open and close all the way.  Hopefully I can find a new circuit board for the motor rather than spend $4 or 500 for a new motor.  We will see.

I had to use a ladder to get at the motor and used Sues runners as protectors for the ladder.  LOL

Oh yes, about 8 am Josue showed up as promised and took the Jeep to his shop to fix the paint.  Here is what we wanted fixed.  

Then as promised, about 5 pm he showed up again with the finished product.  He had taken the fender off and did an awesome job of painting it.  Total bill....2000 pesos ($142.00 Cnd)  

We headed downtown for a bite of supper and then a wee visit with Kenya.

Love this picture

And then some old guy messes it up

Home we went to watch a little TV.  Archie likes to cuddle with us on the couch in the evening.  Good Nite!!
