Awning Retraction/Extension Blowing Fuse

Hello there Forum Members.......have a new 2020 373RD and love it....but this last trip out we have blown the fuse on the awning....not sure how to trouble shoot. Any suggestions? First time in 7 years I've had any trouble with an awning.

On the awning arm there is an SAE connector that goes to the motor. Disconnect this connector, replace the fuse and try the switch again. If the fuse does NOT blow, it is likely your motor is at fault. If the fuse still blows, it is your wiring before the SAE connector.
Here is a troubleshooting video for manually retracting your awning if your motor is good.

Awning manual override
You can get an SAE connector and jump it straight to the battery to test the motor

I had a pinched wire in my awning arm that was blowing the fuse at one point, once I found it and fixed it it was good. Also I noted that if I tried to retract/extend both awnings at once it would blow the fuse, so we do one at a time now.
