I am not sure what awning you have, but there are a couple things you can check out depending on when the fuse is blowing.
If it is blowing almost immediately upon putting a new fuse in, there is likely a short in the wiring and you would want to inspect your wiring to try and find the short.
If the fuse is blowing while in the process of retracting your awning, then it is likely a mechanical error. The motors in awnings will over compensate if they run into an obstruction, causing the motor to draw more power and blow the fuse. To test this, you can manually close the awning and listen and feel for something that doesn't feel right. It could be something as simple as a bent awning arm.
Depending on what awning you have, we do have a good amount of replacement parts available. Most are going to be for Solera awnings. We have anything from motors # LC266149 to arms # LC281154.
If you find you need a replacement part, please let me know all of your awning information and I can help you find the correct replacement parts.
