Question:
2 questions. 1st will the 69inch wire harness for the smart arm controller fit where it calls for the 63inch harness, whish is the one I have on my camper? Also, can I just buy the main female connector that connects to the controller instead of the whole harness?

Welcome back Al!
The Replacement Solera SmartArm RV Awning Controller Wiring Harness - 69" Long # LC56ED will definitely work as a replacement for your 63" harness. You will just need to route the excess wire out of the way, but it's only 6" so that should be pretty easy to do.
As to your second question, it does not look like just the female plug is sold. So you would need to do the whole wiring harness. You could cut the end off the # LC56ED harness and splice it into your current harness if you didn't want to deal with excess wire though. I would probably just leave it as is, but that's just me.
What happened to the original plug/wiring? Usually we hear about the arm breaking from wind or driving off with the awning still out, but the wiring tends to survive.

Hi Lazer, Thanks for your help.The problem with the connectors is that they both have a lot of corrosion and the male connector has the main power pin broken off in the female connector. Seems there has been a lot of problems with the connectors. I corresponded with Lippert and they agreed to send me a male controller and a new harness so I am a happy camper.
