Awnings

I have a 2006 Winnebago tour 40FD. I tried to put out awnings and neither the door nor the patio will extend. I can see a very slight movement when I push the switches. They were operating last fall. Any help appreciated

Are you on shore power or battery. If just battery, check voltage at the battery.

If power is not the issue, is there a lock to hold them in place? If no lock, have someone pull on a arm while you hit the button.

Let us know if you find out the issue.

"Slight Movement" tells me a voltage problem. If that Slight movement is accompanied by a straining motor, then you have a stuck problem, meaning one or both of the arms are stuck and you gotta unstuck them!

Insure the ground connection is clean and tight. Over 80% of all 12V issues are the result of a poor/missing ground.
