Lippert ComponentsPart No. 256725OEM Slide-Out ReplacementLippert 256725 Black Six-Prong Electric Slide-Out Switch with Black Switch Plate

When your RV slide-out room stops responding to the wall switch, the fix is often straightforward: replace the switch. The Lippert 256725 is a direct OEM-style replacement for the six-prong electric slide switch found on many Lippert-equipped trailers and motorhomes. It ships with the matching black switch plate, so the repair looks factory-clean when you are done.

Stop Your Slide-Out Problems at the Source

The wall-mounted slide switch is one of the highest-touch electrical components in any RV. Repeated cycling, vibration on the road, and exposure to dust and humidity eventually wear the internal contacts or crack the switch body. When the slide-out refuses to extend or retract -- or operates only intermittently -- the switch is the first thing most experienced technicians and DIY owners check.

Lippert 256725 replaces the switch and plate as a matched pair, keeping your cockpit or bedroom wall looking stock. Because this is the same part used in original production, there is no adapting, splicing, or shimming required for rigs that originally came with this switch type.

Six-Prong Terminal Design

Six-prong configuration handles the IN and OUT circuits plus ground connections required by Lippert electric slide drive systems.

Matched Black Switch Plate Included

Plate and switch ship together so there is no gap in the wall trim and no need to source a separate cover plate.

Direct OEM Fitment

Designed to drop into the existing wall cutout on Lippert-equipped RVs with no cutting, drilling, or custom wiring required.

Low-Voltage DC Circuit

Rated for the 12V DC slide-out control circuits common across Lippert electric slide systems -- not for 120V AC wiring.

What Is Included

  • One (1) six-prong electric slide-out switch -- black
  • One (1) black switch plate
  • Mounting hardware is not confirmed included; use existing screws from the original switch plate where possible
OEM Match: Because Lippert supplies slide-out systems to dozens of RV manufacturers -- including Forest River, Coachmen, Keystone, Heartland, and others -- this switch appears in a wide range of trailers, fifth wheels, and motorhomes built with Lippert electric slide rooms.

Common Failure Symptoms This Switch Fixes

  • Slide-out does not respond in one or both directions
  • Slide operates only when you hold the switch at a precise angle (worn contact)
  • Switch feels loose, rattles, or rocks without resistance
  • Visible cracking or melting on the switch body or terminals
  • Slide moves slowly or erratically and the motor and fuse test good
Diagnosis Tip: Before ordering, use a multimeter to confirm voltage is reaching the switch and that the problem is not a blown fuse, tripped breaker, or failed slide-out motor. If voltage is present at the switch and the slide does not move, the switch is the likely culprit.

Installation Overview

Replacing a Lippert slide-out wall switch is a common DIY repair. The general process involves disconnecting the 12V house battery (safety first), removing the existing switch plate screws, carefully pulling the switch assembly from the wall box, labeling and photographing the existing wire positions, transferring wires to the matching terminals on the new six-prong switch, and reinstalling the plate. No soldering is required -- the prong terminals accept standard push-in or spade-style connectors as used in OEM wiring harnesses.

Heads Up: Always disconnect the 12V house battery before working on slide-out control wiring. Even low-voltage DC circuits can activate the slide motor if a terminal is accidentally shorted, creating a pinch hazard.
Maintenance Note: After installation, cycle the slide-out two or three times and confirm smooth operation in both directions before securing the switch plate permanently and buttoning up the wall trim.

Important Information
  • This switch is designed for 12V DC slide-out control circuits only -- do not use in 120V AC applications.
  • Disconnect the 12V house battery before removing or installing any slide-out switch wiring.
  • Verify the six-prong configuration matches your existing switch before ordering -- Lippert also produces two-prong and four-prong switch variants for different systems.
  • The switch plate is matched to this switch; confirm your wall cutout dimensions fit the standard Lippert plate before ordering.
  • If the slide-out motor, fuse, or control module is faulty, replacing the switch alone will not restore operation -- diagnose the full circuit first.
  • Keep slide-out components clear of occupants when cycling the room during post-installation testing.
