Slide out Pins locked

The locking pins are hydraulically powered. There's a status panel with LEDs showing the status of each lock pin. I'm not sure where it is in the LX but in the LXi it's in the first basement bay street side above the large HWH aluminum control panel. You can take a peek at the status LEDs to check the status of the locking pins. You do need to partially close the basement door behind you for the LEDs to be activated.

The state of the locking pins are detected by hall effect sensors mounted on each lock pin body. You may need to pull apart some interior panels to get to the lock pin bodies. When you do you should see a round cylindrical plastic device (1/2" dia, maybe 1" long) with 3 wires that's attached to the pin body. These devices sense a magnet attached to the interior sidewalls of the slide body. Make sure that the cylindrical sensors are positioned close to the slide body so they can pick up the signal from the magnet.

Are there any buzzers going off or level indicator lights on the dashboard?

Let me know what you find out and we'll take it from there.

The lock pins only lock when the room is in the travel position. Not when the room is out. I believe what happened is when the room extends there is three pieces of aluminum on the top of the room that touch the outside wall. When the seal inflated it pushed the room ceiling down enough for the piece on the room to slide under the one on the wall. Had that happen to me. Mine was only caught a little and when I started to retract the room it would start to bind then let go. The ones on the slide room can be adjusted. If you can remove the trim around the room on the inside of the coach you should be able to see what happened. Hope this helps
