Shade

Even though your RV wasn't in the recall, you might want to do the recall fix. It could be your problem. if you hear the motor still turning. If you kinda handy, it's not too hard of a job to do yourself. Here's the info and fix instructions: https://dealers.forestriverinc.com/d...-Documents.pdf
Hope this helps... Oh yeah, here's the link to reprogram the shade: http://www.irvineshadeanddoor.com/su...-instructions/

Should be tucked up near the left side of the roller looking out the windshield.

You could have either an MCD shade or an Irvine shade. Here are the 2 links for each

Video Instructions : Irvine Shade and Door

If it's an Irvine shade scroll to "Programming a Wired Motorized Slow-Rise Roller Shade"

Haven't heard of a GT 378 that doesn't. It's hard sometime to find being jammed up in the end like it should be. Did you see the wires at the end of the roller? The wires on the switch may be long enough to be hidden behind the window pillar cover. I'm assuming you looked at the links to see what it looks like.
