RV Slide Out Relay Control Board — Power Gear / Fleetwood Compatible
The iFJF 14-1130 (140-1130) RV slide out relay control board is a direct replacement for Power Gear and Fleetwood RV electric slide-out systems. This control board manages the power distribution and sequencing for your RV's slide-out room motors — ensuring smooth, synchronized extension and retraction. Replaces Lippert/Power Gear part numbers 246063, 135696 and is compatible with 12V 20A slide-out systems.
Key Features
-
Direct OEM Replacement: Plug-and-play replacement for Power Gear 14-1130, 140-1130, 246063, and 135696 control boards. Same mounting pattern and wiring connections.
-
12V 20A Rated: Handles the high current demands of electric slide-out motors without overheating or voltage drop.
-
Includes Wire Harness Connector: Comes with the matching wiring harness connector for easy installation — no cutting or splicing of factory wiring.
-
Reliable Relay Design: Heavy-duty electromechanical relays provide consistent switching performance under the vibration and temperature extremes of RV travel.
-

Signs of a Failing Slide-Out Control Board
-
Slide won't extend or retract: Motors make no sound when switch is pressed — relay contacts burned or board unresponsive.
-
Intermittent operation: Slide works sometimes but not others — relay contacts pitted or loose connection on circuit board.
-
One side moves, other doesn't: One relay channel has failed while the other still functions — slide becomes dangerously uneven.
-
Burned electrical smell from control board area: Overheated relay or shorted component — immediate replacement required.
-
Blown fuses repeatedly: Short circuit on the control board — continued use risks wiring harness damage.
Installation Guide
-
Safety first: Disconnect RV battery (both house and chassis batteries) before beginning any electrical work.
-
Locate the control board: Typically mounted in a basement compartment, under the bed, or behind a access panel near the slide mechanism.
-
Document connections: Take clear photos of all wire connections before disconnecting. Label wires if colors are similar.
-
Remove old board: Disconnect the wire harness, remove mounting screws, and set aside the old board.
-
Install new board: Mount the iFJF 14-1130 board using existing screw holes. Connect the wire harness — the connector is keyed to prevent incorrect installation.
-
Test operation: Reconnect batteries and test slide operation in both directions. Verify motors run smoothly and simultaneously.
-
Synchronize if needed: Some Power Gear systems require a synchronization procedure after board replacement — extend and retract fully 2-3 times to synchronize motor timing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if I need a new control board or just a new motor?
A: A simple test: if you hear clicking from the control board when pressing the switch, the board is receiving power and trying to engage — the motor may be the issue. If you hear nothing, the control board relay is likely failed. Also test for 12V at the motor connector when the switch is pressed.
Q: Does this board work for both single and dual-motor slide systems?
A: This board is designed for dual-motor through-frame slide systems. For single-motor (Schwintek / in-wall) slide systems, a different controller is required. Verify your slide system type before ordering.
Q: Will this fit my 2006 Fleetwood Bounder?
A: Many Fleetwood motorhomes from the mid-2000s use Power Gear slide systems with the 14-1130 / 246063 control board. Check your existing board's part number (printed on the board or the wiring diagram sticker) to confirm compatibility.
Q: Can I install this myself?
A: Yes, if you're comfortable with basic 12V electrical work. The board is plug-and-play with the existing wire harness. Key safety step: ALWAYS disconnect batteries before working on RV electrical systems.
Q: Does this come with installation instructions?
A: A basic wiring diagram is included. For model-specific instructions, refer to your RV owner's manual or Power Gear slide system documentation. Professional installation is recommended if you're uncertain about RV electrical systems.
