Question:
i replaced the controller, now I have 1 speaker that worksnot a big deal, the controller does not run the awning in or out. but the inside coach wall pad will run the awning in only. the rope lites work. and the oustside controller has the lock icon blinking. any ideas. If need be I can run the awning in or out with a manual switch I installed, thanks

Your Solera Smart Arm 12V Power RV Awning Conversion Kit # LC759517 sounds like it has a bad controller which I know you said you just replaced. I reached out to my contact at Lippert and they said that there may be an issue with the harness as well. They recommend checking the connections to ensure they are clean and free of corrosion or debris.
The fact that you have power running through that controller to the motor using your interior switch shows that is partially working, but then not having the speaker connection or exterior motor function still shows an issue with that controller. The Replacement Controller and Touchpad Assembly for Solera Smart Arm RV Awnings # LC717666 is what it sounds like you still need to get your awning to function properly.
