This should be the one you had originally.

I don't believe you can use the P/n you supplied on the old style Weatherpro. Regardless, The problem you have is the original had a different wind sensor using a 4 wire phone type communication cable and the new Control does NOT have that capability. They went to a sensor on top the front arm and uses different regular 12 volt wiring. The IGNITION wire does NOT have to be used. Until you get the problem fixed. Like I stated, you can swap the 2 wires going to the Awning motor to see if the awning works in reverse. THAT will tell you if the motor is defective. Doug
ON the new control are 2 wires that state PATIO MOTOR. THOSE 2 wires go direct to the awning motor. You supply 12 volt Positive and Negative to those 2 wires(NOT CONNECTED TO THE NEW CONTROL!). IF the awning goes OUT, stop after 1 foot and reverse the wires. The awning should retract. IF nothing happens the first time reverse the wires and the awning should go out and back in when reversed again. It is just a simple 12 volt motor and you reverse the polarity. IF the awning does not go out and in , you have a bad motor. Doug
