After talking to Newell and Richard last week, we opened the connector to the front slide retract solenoid. When pressing the slide room switch, I only got .143 volts. Jerermy ordered four solenoids that appeared original (they had the 1/4 inch nut to bleed them) , the others were the latest paddle version. There are three types with some sub variations ( different diameters)but all have either a T handle, a 1/4 " nut, or the paddles. The front room extend and retract were on bottom closest to the pump and the two solenoids above had to be removed to access them. These were the ones we replaced. After the install the room didn't retract. We opened the connector again and jumped it with 12v (white is +, black is -). Once I got the pump to come on I hooked the 12v to the white wire and the room came back in.
The rear rooms work fine but the pump doesn't stop when you let off the switch , since it was still on I was able to jump the solenoid. The front room switch will turn the pump on but is intermittent and the yellow light is also intermitent.
The control unit isn't sending 12v to the solenoid, not sure yet about the micro switches at the pin locks but the pins were not locked, The lights on the unit don't all work.
