(This pic shows the location of the awning lights switch next to the porch light switch.)

Last weekend I had the porch light come on and would not go off (Switch not working) - had to take the bulb out. After driving home noticed the light would go off and the switch now worked again. Hmmm.

Yesterday noticed the awning lights (LED) would not come on - took off this faceplate and removed the three switches to find one awning light switch wires had come off. Theory is this - - - it did this last weekend and the wire electrode crossed the two electrodes on the porch light switch. (Never used the awning last weekend to see if the lights worked - I guess not.)

Just an FYI if your porch light ever comes on and your awning lights do not!

I had a similar think happen. BUT, I found out that the porch light had been turned on with the Fast Camp remote. As soon as I turned it off with the remote I could then turn it on and off with the regular switch. Not sure how it got turned on with the remote. We had been using the remote but didn't think we turned on the light.

We also have a 2015 34 J we purchased 10/2014 The awning was replaced by the dealer under warranty 11/2014 because it was broken when we took delivery. Never knew we had awning lights. Well they don't work.. Do you know where they connect to the outside? I think they didn't connect it when they put the new awning on..
Or where is the fuse for it them..
