Car Awnings Dont Work

If it s clicking it could be the gear stripped or even a binding and the motor tries but shuts down due to the binding.

Car awnings dont work. Do you hear any type of clicking noise like the motor is trying to bring the awning in or just dead silence. There are several problems that can cause the awning not to work correctly. Motorized retractable patio awnings are the easiest to use but the functionality of the motor and the telescopic arms may need more maintenance. Vehicle awnings are a smart way for off road truck and jeep owners to get a break from the sun on those hot days.

The awning is rather long around 2000 mm long so probably not the best car awning but should fit just about any truck and mid size suv. Take some time inspecting the awning for any signs of warping weather damage rusting tearing in the awning fabric itself or the motor overheating and working too hard. The telescopic arms could experience a gas leak requiring them to be refilled or your awning could need a new motor which could be a hassle. If it is a dometic awing un plug the motor up buy the awning tube an hot wire it to the batterie if the motor works it is the switch i climbed a ladder and had a look down the front awning tube but it s in the closed position.

Simply pull it out and rope the legs into the begs. Although i can see the wire i don t think i can possibly reach down there to get at the connection. Check the power connections to see if there is a short in the wiring or the cord is not plugged in.
