Five days on the ALCAN Highway from Utah to Alaska and the only problem I have found is the Garage Door Screen completely unrolled and will not go back up. I think it is a wireless system. Before I unload everything to get at it, does anyone know if there is a manual method to roll the screen up?
UPDATE 3/31/17: I took the screen unit down today and found the power wires chafed on a metal edge then cut through completely. The screen is labeled SunTraxxRV I believe when the wires chafed and contacted the metal cover it caused the screen to roll all the way out then twisted the motor mount (a small tab) until the wires broke.
The FIX: I soldered a three prong connector to each end of the broken wires and added some shrink tubing to protect it. Repaired the Motor Mount. Rolled the screen back onto the roller tube. Reinserted the motor and routed the wires through the opening in the front of the casing instead of the end where the motor mounts. Rehung the unit and plugged it in... it worked.
