LED strip issues in Solara awning

Has anyone else had issues with their LED strip in the awning roller, particularly when it rains? Our 2019 has had issues since purchasing new a year ago, even after the strip was replaced by the dealer for the 2nd time a couple weeks ago. The problem seems to start when the awning gets wet and, when the inside switch is turned On, the strip blinks, but doesn’t stay lit or, if it does stay on, it’s stuck on a single color (usually yellow of all colors). The other day, when the strip wouldn’t light, I wiggled the “sensor” in the front of the roller and the strip lit, but would only the yellow color, regardless of what I did with the remote.

I know power is getting out to the strip, based on the strip flashing when the wall switch is turned on, but I’m very annoyed that this continues to be an ongoing issue ...... when it’s the only lighting for the campsite after dark, so I’ve resorted to keeping a 15’ Walmart LED strip plugged into the camper to have a little comfort in the evenings.
