2005 Suncruiser 35A awning wiring to the motor has an open circuit.
Does anyone know where the awning motor wiring is run?
The awning was installed by Winnebago and documents state it is a Dometic WeatherPro. I have removed the controller and my Mobile RV tech has not been able to apply power to the awning motor from any of the wires in the bay just to the rear of the steps.
So we suspect an open circuit on one or both sides of the motor power wires.
After recieving a diasgram from Winnebago tech support, there is not enough information to show us where the awning motor power wires are run.

If you know where the awning motor wires are run and can share, that would be very helpful.
Thanks!
I’ve searched several forums and found no wiring location for the awning motor.
We manually rolled out and tested the motor. It runs fine in either direction.
 
On my Meridian the wires are run in a channel in the awning arm they enter the coach behind the arm about 3/4 of the way down. It leads to a cabinet area with quite a bit of wiring in it.

I think I see some of what you need on the schematic drawings and they give "hints" at locations of plugs/connections, so maybe that is a start!
Somewhat complex to draw and too large to put all on one snip, so maybe I can cut/paste the connections and show which snip matches the next one?
First to get everybody on the same page on things, let me brief you on how Winn. does drawings and wire ID!
They stamp ID on small wires and that should match the ID on drawings:

To know where the "from" and "to"" of wires, they give us a "decoder" here:

I went to this drawing on sheet 2 for schematic:

At the switch and control box:
Switch has an 8-pin connector but only uses three! Call this snip one for where wires go to other locations on other snips!

Wire FFE goes direct to ground! But the other wires from control go to different locations.
See if this gets a start on how and where they go and what they did on wires?

Wind senser a question?

Snip 3 connects to ship 2!

It's a jungle but see if that points in the right direction? :thumb:

Thanks for the location info, I think behind the passenger seat near the outlet is a good place to start. That is about 3/4 down the front awning arm.

Thank you Richard! I’ll share this with my RV Mobile Tech and carefully look it over.
