Main Awning LED lights stopped working on 3605

The LED lights under my main awning have stopped working. The lights under the 2nd awning still work, but are on a separate switch. The labeling on my fuse panel is not legible, but i removed every fuse, and none of them are blown. Anyone know if there is a fuse somewhere else other than the main breaker/fuse panel? Thanks in advance.

If your 3605 is like mine once the switch is on you need the remote to activate the lights. Does your have a remote?

Bad switch? Loose connection?

Are the LED's wired direct or do they have a control module?

There is a possibility they may have just crapped out too.

Found the problem. Outside where the wiring goes into the side of the trailer, there is a little plug hidden in the awning channel. it had come unplugged, plugged it back in, and we are good to go. Thanks guys

Had the same problem with my 3605. I lightly pulled on the wire where it comes out of the side to give it a little more play. Does any one know if you can change out the interior switch to a dimmer? Will it work on LED,s.

You have to have a specific dimmer for LED's but yes it should work.

Here is one from JR Products. You could also purchase one of the control modules and wire a remote into the circuit.

Replacement

Mine recently stopped working too, found the LED stripe needs replaced… anyone know the specific replacement or do an alternative that will direct connect to the existing connector?

I replaced mine with this from Amazon, and replaced the “on/off switch with a dimmer.
