LED lights on awning won't turn on

Anyone had any trouble with only 1/2 of their lights come on that is built into the awning cylinder? Also the porch light is very dim. Thank you for any help.
  • The LEDs on the nose of my fiver filled up with water and quit working. Add it to the warranty list.

    It appears, as usual, that the manufacturer uses the absolute cheapest lights they can source for this. My Cyclone has two awnings with built in LED's. On the front awning, every other LED is out and the remaining ones are at about 1/2 power. On the rear awning, there are 3 LED's in a row dead and the rest are fine. A sad testament for an RV that had an MSRP approaching $100k!


    It's the LED's themselves then. Remember LED's are electronic devices, not bulbs. No fixing, replace the string.

    Plugged in or battery still only 1/2 of the awning lights work.


    if 1/2 work then its probably the light strip itself.
  • Are you on battery power or shore power (plugged in)? What is your batter setup? How many? How old?
  • Check wire connections. Is your battery charged?
