Would appreciate advice from the forum

I recently ran a thread here about the driver's side power visor quitting. Thinking it was off warranty already, I took it apart and really couldn't find anything wrong except some slightly overheated resistors on the circiut board inside the motor tube. Contacted AutoMotion Shade in Ontario Canada who informed me the warranty was only one year but would fix it for free less shipping. Even sent me a return authorization. So I put it all back together and just for grins, hooked it back up to the coach. It worked! Surprised the heck out of me. Ran that sucker up and down a bunch of times resetting the stop points and it worked like a charm.

So... what do I do? It'll just sit for awhile as the coach is already winterized. Do I send back something that ain't broke (anymore)? Ask for a raincheck on the free repair? Or just tell them thanks and forget the whole deal?

I would keep the return auth. for a later date As needed.

RMAs usually have an expiration date. I'd send it back along with a note that states the problem as intermittent. It's possible that a connector was building some resistance or a thermal overload protection thermostat failed.

One more thing to mention - after working like a charm yesterday, nothing worked today. Neither the re-installed driver's shade or the passenger shade. Fuse was blown. Why I don't know. Replaced the fuse and everything. Don't know what would make it blow as nothing, not even ground, is connecred to the circuit until a switch is pressed.
Unless anyone else has an idea, I intend to let it sit again tonight, and try it tomorrow.
