    Where are the awning LED lights grounded? 2018 230RL

    Need help finding/identifying the ground point for the awning LEDs. Thanks!

    On my 2015 303, the 18 gauge red & black wires from the awning LED strip come all the way back to the main panel. The red goes to the switch and the black connects in with several white ground wires in a large wire nut behind the panel. I had to find both these wires to insert a PWM dimmer . . . I assume that maybe you are doing the same ?

    Thanks Rob.

    That's just what I'm trying to do. I've gone as far as undoing that bundle of ground wires but the awning lights still have a ground. I'm starting to think the ground wire may have been accidentally shorted to ground. Either that or it's grounded in an entirely different area.

    Guess I'll just keep looking.

    There is a ground wire in line with the power wire that runs to the control panel. I hope this helps.

    Well, I'm pretty sure that wire is shorted to ground some place towards the LED strip. I'll look into this further next week.
    Thanks Missy!
