I have a question about the three breakers in the battery compartment. My slide outs are not working and I understand from the forum that they control hydraulic system. My problem is I have 4 – 6 volt batteries in the compartment and very little room. I can see one breaker and feel the other two. I do not want to pull two batteries to have visual with them. I want to reset them by feel and want to know what I am doing before I start. There is a red button on the breaker, does that trip the breaker or reset it? If it does not reset it, what do I do to reset it?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Breakers in battery compartment
Here is a brief description from the other forum:
"There were some different configurations depending on the year, but on
the Glacier, you should have 3 breakers on the rear bulkhead of the
battery compartment. One for coach power, one for generator start, and
one for the slide system. There is a red button - push it to trip the
breaker. Small lever under the red button pops down. Push it back up
to reset."

Re: Breakers in battery compartment
I am not 100% sure, but I think the Glacier/Summit have these breakers:

If anyone can confirm it, it may helps MJJH.

Re: Breakers in battery compartment
Hello..I hope you have resolved your problem by now.
However if you haven’t here is what I did to solve the same problem on my Summit.
The breakers are mounted side by side along the front wall of the battery compartment.
As someone posted before the red buttons will “kick” the breakers out.
On the top there are small levers that will pop up a small amount to when the breaker is “kicked”.
You don’t have to see them to reset them but you will have to reach in with your left arm and feel them.
I discovered them after I slid my battery tray out as far as it would go.

Also other things to be sure are working correctly to make your slide outs work.
The coach needs to be level with the legs down.
The air compressor needs to run so it can deflate and inflate the seals.
Wait a short time between sliding out each unit so the compressor can catch up.
