Automatic awning is dead

I'll mention this again, on the Axis, ours, the awning and slide are interlocked with the ignition switch. There are relays behind the A/C-DC distribution panel or to the right of it. If fuse #11 is good and the ignition switch is off you should be able to feel these relays click when some one else tries to operate either the awning or slide. Check for power and ground at these relays.

I own a 2014 Thor Windsport 27K. I too, had a problem with my slide and awning. Neither would come out or retract. After reading this forum, I was able to diagnose the problem to a relay. I have the Rapid Camp set up, there are three identical relays that come out of the control board for the Rapid Camp. It is located under the seat to the right of the distribution center (has a small antenna coming out of it). The way I diagnosed it was to remove one of the three relays and replace it with one of the other two. After two tries, I narrowed it down to the relay with the single lead (the other two are side by side). Very easy fix and one day shipping for two from Amazon for $22.00. I am buying two so I will have one as a spare in case it happens again. By the way, here is the information for the relays - Sanyou part no. SARL-112D. One more note of caution, I made sure I turned off the power to the unit when removing and replacing the relays. Make sure you are not hooked up to shore power and put the switch on "Store". Hope this helps others.
