2017 3810MS Awning LED Wiring

Anyone have experience with replacing the LED lighting strip on the main awning? There is no power coming from the wires that come out of the trailer. We think the person replacing it, not to mention names, may have pulled on the wire too hard and disconnected something. Of course, Montana says there is no set wiring placement on this and cannot provide a wiring diagram. Any ideas where to start?

you might want to start tracing your wires from the switch that turns your light strip on and off make sure you have power to strip, also check your fuzes make sure one isn't blown.

A good toner amplifier will allow you to test/trace wires even inside of walls. This isn't the brand I have but similar in function. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Southwire-M...Meter/50278117
Can even use them on AC wiring if you get the power off the wire. If you know a phone or cable technician they will have one.

Also look behind your control panel in case there is an inline fuse behind the switch.
Its a mess back there.
