Loss of Hydraulic slides and leveling with electrical problems

I have problem that I cannot find the cause of. Any Advice?

There is a fuse in the front bay above the batteries with a lead off the ~80 amp breaker under the hydraulic control valves. Make sure it is good as well as the 80 amp breaker (might be 100 amp) . Batteries have to be good else the system will not function well.

Like ERamsey mentioned, check those breakers in the front compartment. We have two and if you can see the yellow arm popped up that would indicate they have tripped and need to be reset.

All of the items you listed are dependent on the batteries (12VDC). The inverter for the fridge is only needed to power the fridge while on battery and isn’t required while connected to shore power.

Welcome to the group!

To add to Eric and Stuart comments this is the wiring diagram for that area.

Thank y’all very much. I will check the fuses and breakers tonight.

I have checked the wiring against the pic and the functional diagram. No luck so far. Is there a way to operate the hydraulics for the kitchen slides? Or push the slides out?

I am not much help on the manual operation of the hydraulic slide hopefully somebody that has done it will chime in. I made myself familiar with the process on my previous 5er (Grand Design) using page 46 of this manual - I assume it’s similar but never had to on my Beacon. There are also several good youtube videos on the subject.

I saw in your post that the relay would click but no slide action and was going to ask if the hydraulic knobs for the slides were open to allow them to operate. After rereading your post I am reminded all power to the leveling appears dead.

I assume you pulled out the multimeter to check power prior and after the 80amp hydraulic breaker to verify it and the fuse that leads out to the front touch panel.

Thanks everyone for responding, the problem was a 50amp breaker that had overheated and melted internally.
