2017 Anthem 42RBQ Girard Awning Problem

My rear awning stopped working. Using VegaTouch or Crestron iPad App to extend, retract or stop triggers relays 91, 92 or 93 respectively. Awning will extend or retract by manually operating the AC Motor Control Module. I want to try re-syncing the AC Motor Control Module (GC274C) to the Dry Contact Module (GC1149A) but cannot locate the Dry Contact Module within coach. I’ve looked in all of the bays and behind the panel above the entry door. Anyone know where the module is located? I’ve been waiting on CS for location but am anxious to resolve this quickly. Thanks

On our 17’ cornerstone there is a carpeted panel on the wall in the first bay on the drivers side. That might contain what you are looking for. I believe it’s held on by Velcro.

The dry contact modules are behind the panel above the front door. They are little white boxes and you might have to dig around a little.
When you find them, use your app or Vegatouch and see if a blue light diode lights up when you activate the aft awning. The blue light is where the fastening screws for the wire harness.
Do you have a Girard awning remote? (105)

If you have a remote, does it operate your awning?

Here you have a picture of the dry contact module. There is one for each main awning. It is the little white box on the left in each picture. Let me know if you need to know how to re program the GC274C.

Good luck.

This may sound stupid, but I did it yesterday. PDI'ing the MH to the new owner, I removed the cover to show him the battery location in the dry contact modules. I did not get the cover snapped on correctly and the awning went nuts. In and out, I had no control of the action with any of the controls until I removed the cover and saw the problem.

Thanks everyone for your comments and help. I opened up the panel above the entry door and sure enough the 2 Dry Contact Modules were there to the left and buried under a group of cables. With help from Entegra CS we determined the Rear Awning Motor Controller was bad and Entegra will be sending me a replacement. Thanks again for the help. Barry
