LED Awning Light Strip Does not work on Brand New Trailer
Just bought a brand new 2021 Coachman Catalina 263BHSCK. Upon PDI inspection, I noticed that the LED light strip would not come on (yes, I had the exterior light button in the on position). I cant believe my dealer did not have this fixed before I picked it up.
Anyway, I took the trailer home and there does not appear to be a fuse behind the control panel inside. I checked the connection on the right side of the awning where the LED light strip plugs into DC power by the awning and it was very lose (little 4 pin connection). One pin looked bent so I straightened it and plugged it back in. When I turn on the exterior lights now, the LED awning light strip flickers once briefly and turns back off. Any suggestions? Yes, the dealer can fix it but its going to take weeks before they can get me back in because I am having some other stuff done. Thanks in advance!
