When I turned the awning LED strip lights they were very dim not even close to how bright they used to be. Any suggestions would be appreciated thanks .

The obvious question..Are they setup on a dimmer?Sometimes things like this will have some sort of dimming control, could be a knob on the on/off switch, could be a button on a remote control..Start there and rule that possibility out..If no dimmer can be found then start looking at voltage at the LED panel, if voltage is at or very close to battery voltage (IE "12V") and you do not have a dimmer then the issue is most likely failing LED strip and the only repair is to replace.

Could also be a blown fuse for that circuit.Some fuse panels have a blown-fuse indicator LED that continues to supply a small amount of current to the circuit after its fuse has blown - and even this tiny amount of current is sometimes enough to dimly illuminate LED light fixtures or power some other low-drain devices.

Check your ground wire to the fixture. Hope this helps.

They always do this. Just go to Amazon and buy a roll of replacement aftermarket LED lights A LOT CHEAPER than the awning brand. Doug

I did end up going with a set with 3m adhesive. The cheap set I had, came loose from the camper on the second trip. It may have been my installation, but the 3m has held on for 2 years now.

We just purchased replacements from ETrailer (10' and 14' awnings. Our rig is a 2013 and about half the LED's were not working.

Being the unashamed El Cheapo that I am, & also finding the LED strips stuck on the trailer that are visible with the awning out highly annoying visible outside of it's site, I went a different route. Cheap but it takes more than hitting a switch for light.

I have a basic 18' LED line of lights available at any Walmart anytime of year. I removed bolts at the end of the awning roller & replaced them with eye bolts to which the string of LEDs get tied. Enough tension is put on the string to tuck the lights behind the roller & awning surrey so that the lights shine back TOWARDS the trailer, not away from it. This way lights are not shining into any neighbour's site.

It takes a little while to setup using some line & some boaty adjustable knots plus the on/off switch is plugging into the outside outlet, but it works.
