In this video, I locate and repair an intermittent connection in my Dometic 9100 RV power awning 12VDC supply wiring. The wireless remote worked fine; however, the manual switch most times wouldn’t move the awning. Only a faint clicking could be heard. So, I removed the control panel and had a look at the switch and wiring feeding it.
Using a multimeter, I discovered a wire crimp connector had become flakey, causing the intervention operation. To repair, I cut out the OEM crimps and installed new butt connector style crimps. Awning functions returned to normal. During the repair, I also explain how the reversible awning switch works.
