Front Shades Won't go up on Fleetwood Southwind

Neither of our shades (black privacy or screen) will go up. We just started our Fleetwood Southwind up to go gas up and the darn shades won't budge. It's crazy that there really isn't any information online about what to do. I don't believe it is the motor or at least one of them would work. We will be checking the fuses...and if anyone knows where they are, I would greatly appreciate all feedback.

What is the brand of the shades? My RV has MCD power shades and they need to be programmed. Sometimes the program just goes awry! Mine only operate when the key is off now and I have to reprogram them so they work when driving or when ignition is off. Perhaps that is your issue also. Perhaps the rocker switch is corroded also.

Check the fuse would be where I would start. You don't state the year but my Bounder fuses are in the Power Center on the left wall.

on the end of the shade there is a wire. aA the end of the wire is a plunger switch, hold it down and operate the the shade.

Thank you everyone! So for those of you who have similar love, hate relationships with their motorcoach, you know how it's always something. This happened to be a random incident that fixed itself. Yup, didn't work and then just did again. I'm just relieved it's working. Probably a short somewhere or bad fuse. Either way, at least we can drive it now.
