Awning power? 2019 Outlook 27D

Have a 2019 Outlook 27D class C with a power awning. Have not used the awning often but on last camping trip I put out the awning. We were in a campground and attached to shore power with a 30 amp plug. It did rain and after I got home I wanted to extend to get some sun and make sure it was dry. It would not power out until I plugged it in. Does this only run on 110V or is there an issue? Thought I had put it out once before when not plugged in.
Thanks,
Kevin

90% sure it is battery power but we don't get the best info on newer RV, just line drawings of locations of things.
So I drag out a few drawings and maybe it helps?
First I might look at the anwing itself as that is where most of the moving goes on and maybe something lost contact. There is a small motor and if the awning moves neither in nor out after a rain, it may have gotten wet to trip or blow a fuse?

But if not a fuse, maybe there is a wiring problem and there are a couple other suspects at the cabinet and under the sink.
Sine it moves neither in or out(?), if not fuse, I would look at power getting through the switch.

Some guessing involved here so be alert that it may be wrong! We don't get the best info but this is what I have seen on other reversing items. DC motors run backwards if we reverse the battery and ground leads to them!
If this comes in on the set of lugs at one end, the switch moved one direction make contact that way to feed it to the motor.
But if we push the momentary switch the other way and the wires are reversed, the motor goes the other direction!
The two center contacts make with either set of outer contacts to go in or out!
But this is a common way and guess as how it is done here.
There is also a relay and that may be where they change the polarity. I'm guessing again but feel the switch may be the easy one to get to from the outside, while the relay may be nearly impossible and buried up under the sink??

Maybe easy fuse fix, but if not maybe a look for broken or corroded wires?
Be sure to test for ground as well as battery as it has to have both!

Good luck on the bug hunt!

I failed to give you the link if you want to go to them for the full story as we get it!
Body 12 volt installation for this!

Fuse

I did try the fuse and that did not change anything. The switch and awning works but only on 110V. Where would the loss of power from 12V come from?

Are you saying the awning only works when plugged into power and not when only battery power is available?
That would seem to say it is a battery problem for the whole RV. So do other 12Volt things work when not plugged to power?
That might mean that when plugged in, the converter is using AC to make the DC and it works. But when no power from converter, the battery is not providing power?
But if the battery is not powering the awning, it should not be powering things like lights and fans!
Battery dead, cables corroded, etc.?
Coach battery disconnect switch on, not forgotten?
Some checking needed?

Something like this for the simple parts?

Awning now works

I came home today and checked the 12v items in the coach. I then tried the awning and now works on the 12v.
