I put this in Winnie Specific issues because while it is a A&E One Step awning, it is wired to a 15 pin connector that is how Winnie elected to wire it in (good idea by the way). My control box is suspected to be bad and I have bought a new one on ebay but it will be coming with loose wires and not in a 15 pin connector.
My question is this: If I remove my control box before I receive the new one (only 4 screws and unplug the connector) will my awning remain closed or does it need power to keep the brake energized? I suspect it will stay closed but would like some confirmation on that. Because if it does open I would have to reinstall the connector and hope it would close which has been it's major problem to this point. I would like to get a look at the wiring on the old box before the new one arrives is the reason I am asking. Thanks
I know - silly question - but I have heard that silly questions are the ones that are unasked.
