Hello!
Have tried contacting Paul’s seating for a motor replacement for our 2100 with no success. No one ever returns calls. Doug is trying to hunt one up at the factory but with the move it may take some time. Anyone have any ideas?

If the sofa motor doesn’t turn on check the 20A self resetting circuit breaker. Both sides (green wires) should measure 12v to ground.
Look for a string of 4 or 5 self resetting circuit breakers. In this picture the one on the left is for the tri-fold sofa motor. The green wire on the left side is 12v out. The other green wire is 12v in from the batteries. Voltage from the truck battery is always present even with the ignition key off. FYI the black wires are 12v for the slide motor, not ground.

Thanks so much for the info…Ours is working fine for now but as we are worse case scenario folks we thought we would have a spare just in case as Keith said there is no way to retract bed manually. Sure appreciate your thoughts on this matter. Keith gave us part number so we ordered on eBay. FIY, part number is RV #801-001 / 420617 Atwood mobile CIM. $59.00 with tax and shipping.

Yes indeed CalCruiser. I am glad you brought this up.
There are a few odd exceptions where 12V black is not ground, the macerator in our 2007 production PC being another example. It's wierd.
But the general rules is as follows.
With a Brick & Mortar house, the 120V color code, WHITE IS GROUND
With motorhome 120V wiring, the color code is the same, WHITE IS GROUND
All vehicle 12v wiring including motorhomes, the color code, BLACK IS GROUND
Don't confuse black 12V ground from white 120V ground in your PC. It is easy to mix them up because both are present in motorhomes.
