When we are not actively using it, I try to take our MH out of storage every 2-3 weeks and "exercise" it for a bit. Open the slide, run the genset, run the AC, drive ten miles or so, etc. A couple of months ago I did that and the slide would not open. Wouldn't even try to. I didn't have time to work on it that day, so I took it back to storage. The next week I picked it up to work on it and the slide worked perfectly. It's worked every time since then, too. All I can guess is that it was some kind of grounding problem, perhaps as you have noted. I did look at it at the time and noted that some of the wiring was very tight. I did my best to put some slack into it...
