The awning wires are very brittle and I'll replace them as part of fixing this issue.
Its a ZZL wire circuit and I'm trying to find the wiring path to see if I have a short or blown fuse somewhere. There are a lot of wires (bundled) running behind the refrigerator (as I look through the external hatch/door for the refrig- see picture. What I'm trying to figure out is how can I get to that wire bundle to see if there is a ZZL circuit there without have to remove the refrig. I don't think that I can access it though the pantry cabinet.
Any Suggestions or has someone had a similar issue with the rear awning light?
Thanks in advance for your help

I have found the problem with my rear awning LED lights not workong!!
The place where the very small red and black wires connect to the yellow and white 12v wire (ZZL circuit) was completely frayed and burnt through. See pics.
You have to access the connection by removing the sealant and a cover on the roof near the awning where the wires for the awning motor, lights, and wind sensor all enter the coach.
So what caused it you ask...shoddy workmanship where a technician/worker tried to shove 10 lbs of wire into a 1 lb space. It looks they used a screwdriver to shove all the wires into the space because a number of the other wires are scraped up and will need to be repaired..
I'm replacing the cheap black and red wire as they are brittle and chaffed from the external environment (and our motor Home is garaged).
Hope that this helps someone.
