well it wasn't the culprit. In disconnecting it I must have had a live wire. So with that blown my leveling jacks did not work. or anything.
Replaced and back to where I started. NO nothing for the slides. There has to be fuses for the slides in the underbelly that auto reset. Those maybe bad. But that will require the underbelly to come down in various places.
Taking the control panel apart reveals the switch's are all a yellow color. So wherever the switch goes in the underbelly is where it probably where those next set of fuses are.
Of note, on the backside of the battery it runs to that fuse that was blown. That fuse has wires going to the auto level, battery cutoff and one one of the legs has an inline fuse for the battery itself.
So a 45 amp fuse plus the blown fuse are in this area.
the jacks take power from the controller and it goes to the four fuse block posted eariier.
So have not accomplished a thing. Still no power to the slides. Underbelly has to come down so I can trace wires from the slide motors to where it connects to these yellow wires on the back of the switch panel.
Can't find any of this inside so has to be in the underbelly.
Confusing, it is for me....I hate electrical.

Go slowly on this. Dropping a belly is a lot of work and I am doubtful it will prove helpful. If it is a battery /converter issue you should see the lights dim when attempting slide activation. What does your battery monitor say at your switches. Placement of fuses in the belly is improbable. I suspect if you check at switches you will find they are dead. The slide fuses will be located somewhere that is accessible, although difficulty you are having suggests they are not obvious. Do you have a panel on the exterior to operate your levelers and slides? Does your camper have a remote with a remote board in the front bay?

lights do not dim when pressing any buttons/switches. Battery monitor at the switches indcates 100? At the auto leveler it indicates 13.4 volts.
the panel that operates the levelers is just above the battery in a door. The leveling system itself is Rieco, same as the fuse block that is under the basement with those four fuses.
Slides are only operated inside the 5th wheel at the control panel, that panel has the yellow wires for the slide switches.

yes that fuse says slide. Have checked it and it is a good fuse. It will show the red light when you press one of the switches for the slides., otherwise the red light is out.

yeah, I am out of ideas too. There is reference to a mini control panel of fuses for the slides via internet.
the motors for the slides are of a different color than the wires coming from the switches inside the trailer.
Find where these two meet and maybe that is where the mystery is solved ?

yes and where are those relays seems to be the question of the hour. that is why I was thinking I might have to remove a portion of the underbelly so I can follow the wiring from the motors of the slides.
did some google searching and cant come uo with anything,

Scott,
I am still searching online. If your belly is open behind your converter, I would start looking there. I am not giving up, but it might be faster to just call customer support tomorrow. It will save a lot of time. The relays can all use the same feed from the fuse.
