A&E OneStep power awning motor problems
My power awning has some kind of bind in the power mechanism. All the hardware struts are fine, not twisted, bent or otherwise a problem. They all move freely. But either the motor or the tube or what...

There is indeed something in the motor assembly that CAN cause that.. But the odds are you have a bad connection.
I believe you will find a flat-2 connector (like a flat-4 Trailer connector but only two pins) in the arm near the motor.. You should have a matching cable in your owner's manual bag... Use it to feed a good 12 volts to the motor and see if that helps. if it does your problem is up-stream electrical, happy tracing.
If not.. the electric brake may have failed.. This can happen. And a new motor is.... Expensive (like 400 dollars).
