Went to Colorado over the weekend. Stopped at 11:00 at night. And none of the slides would deploy. Parking brake set. Fast idle on. Seals would deflate but would not totally exhaust. Spent time on phone with Newell and valid.
On my coach all four slides vacume lines run to a single solenoid and Venturi pump. If either fails the slides will not deploy or return. The solenoid has a manual override kind of like a reset button on a router. After manually overriding mine worked fine going forward.
Solenoid is 99$ from valid. Venturi pump is 79$ you can override or wire around the solenoid but Venturi pump failure is a guaranteed no deploy situation.
