I agree with disabling the system immediately. Doing that is very simple. There is a single relay in the front run area under the driver. If this is removed, the bus can be placed in gear, emergency brake released, and if desired moved (I do not know why you would do that) with the slide extended. According to the wiring diagram this is the only thing necessary to stop the possibility of the "emergency stop" due to sensing a slide out. I believe the label is something like "slide lockout" or something similar. I can check in a couple of days when I am back at the coach. I have removed mine almost as soon as I purchased the bus. I always check that relay after having any work done on the bus by any commercial establishment. One time a technician must of thought that I had lost the relay and replaced the relay.
