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...
I found out the cause of this last week when it happened again. It turns out there is an interlock with the parking foot brake and the slide will not operate if the parking brake is not set.
