Dometic Awning: “Wind LEDs off / power on”
warning RV awning problems
What it means
On Dometic power awnings fitted with the wind sensor control module, the power light being on while the wind speed LEDs are off means the wind sensor function is currently disabled. The sensor's automatic retract protection is therefore not active. It is a status indication that can be toggled on or off by the user, not necessarily a fault.
Most likely causes
- Wind sensor was intentionally or accidentally switched off most likely
- Sensor disabled and never re-enabled after a previous setting change common
- Control logic disabled the sensor pending a condition less common
Safe checks you can do yourself
- Confirm the power light is on (control box has power) but the wind speed LEDs are not lit.
- Follow the control's enable procedure to turn the wind sensor back on if you want auto-retract protection.
- Verify the wind sensor cup is clear of debris, spider nests, or water once re-enabled.
- Re-check that the wind speed LEDs light up after enabling, confirming the sensor is communicating.
How to reset / clear Wind LEDs off / power on
- Use the wind sensor enable procedure shown on the control box to re-activate the sensor.
- Confirm the wind speed LEDs illuminate, indicating the sensor is active again.
When to call a technician
The wind speed LEDs will not light even after enabling the sensor, the box flashes indicating no sensor communication, or the sensor fails to retract the awning in clearly high wind.

Note: This indicator belongs to Dometic's wind sensor control module, which is fitted to power awning installations including 9200-series WeatherPro setups. The base 9100/9200 hardware itself uses a simple wired switch and has no diagnostic LEDs. Exact enable steps vary by control version.
