Well I found the problem, and figured I'd let y'all know in case it might help someone in the future.
There is a 2 amp fuse in a fuse holder at the bottom of the front awning leg. The wire on the fuse holder is pretty thick compare to the wire going to the lights, so I assumed it was for the motor on the awning. Turns out it is for the lights. The fuse in there the blades has some corrosion on them. I replace the fuse, and it works fine.
Thanks for the suggestion, it was a bad connection.
That would be a good location for dielectric grease or a spray of an electronic deoxidizing product. I like to use Caig Deoxit 5 or Deoxit Gold, depending on what I have on hand.
