awning trouble

[BDF]

Jayco RE24 awning goes out but will not retract unless you reverse the polarity on wires going to motor. I need a solution!

Is is a manual switch or through the app? If manual could be a bad switch. Through the app a bad relay.

if app with jcommand then its a relay on the node. you may have to replace node or add a manual switch in lui of. i hear nodes cost $750 to $900 unless you are still under warranty.

ink Grumpy and others are spot on. If it’s a manual switch, it’s a DPDT type with center off and it acts to apply power or reverse the polarity of the power to the motor, depending on the direction you want to go.
If it’s thru the app, computer, and node, then there are 2relays with one for each direction and the roll in relay is bad - or the node activating it is bad.

For a fifth wheel with the JCommand BMPro system, does anyway have knowledge or instructions on how to convert an anwing to a manual switch? I purchased a Lippert awning switch and it has four leads, red, black, white and blue. I want to install it in the side compartment but need to know where the current leads are, I assume one or two are in the BMPro node.

Awing wires go to the BmPro node and are labeled.

Both motor leads are connected to the BMpro node. They will be a heavy gauge wire in the top left of the node if it is mounted like mine was. You'll either need to tap into the motor power wires going into the node or find another heavy wire to power the awning through the switch separately.
