Well, made it to Florida for our spring break trip. Overnighted at a Cracker Barrel in Rock Hill, SC where we used the bedroom slide, then on to Fort Wilderness. Upon setting up, the bedroom slide worked well on the rear side, but would only move a few inches on the forward slide. After much troubleshooting and trying to remove the motor, I removed the entire track assembly (not a good idea on the road) and fished out the motor. Using a too short ladder, I got on the slide roof and got it from there.
Upon disection, I found the timing magnet split in half and loose on the shaft. I figure it had a winter cracking and the rough roads split it the rest of the way. The motor would turn, but the computer couldn't count the turns and would shut it down.
Road repair, super glue the halves back together and added a plastic washer to the top I cut out of some packaging in the pantry to hold it together. Works like a champ!

I can then push or pull the slide out as needed and then reconnect the motor controller the re-engage the brake.
