- Your 12 V battery may be low.
- Battery is good...
- Has it always worked and just quit? It would seem if something in area of awning motor is unplugged, that would be the issue. Can you post a pic of this plug?
My awning is a Dometic, and has a plug connection in the arm of awning. If unplugged, I know mine would not work.
Jerry - Do you have a multimeter or test light? You could check that plug for voltage when you activate the switch. That may tell you that plug is for something else (like awning lights)if there is no voltage to it when you push the switch.
And you could also use them for the next step that will be to test for voltage at the awning motor. MFL wrote:
Same here. I have a dometic and the plug is in the arm covered by a plastic strip. Unplugged mine won't work either.

The plug would be my first.
If that doesn't work grab a meter and start chasing 12V- Has always worked.......but when we got to our new destination....I pushed the switch and nothing happened....then saw a square plugup by the awing tube.....touched it fell off......looks like a plug of some sort......like a matching plugthat something plugs into.....will contact Lippert/Solara and see if they have an answer
- IIRC, my plug is a male/female, when put together with plug mate, female/male appears to be a smooth one piece connection.
Jerry - Ended up being a bad switch for the awning.........a new switch and everything works great!
