Does it appear to be binding mechanically. Do you hear the motor running? Will it extend (indicates the fuse is good)?

If the awning moves at all then I'm with TucsonJim that there is binding. Most likely in the arms or at the hinge points. Most likely need to get closer look and hands-on the arms. With two people, one can watch/listen for binding/rubbing while the other operates the awning. DO NOT do the hands-on part with the awning in motion. Make any adjustments with the awning at full stopped and no fingers near the switch.John

This may be a Girard awning which is owned by Lippert. If so, there is a process to adjust the in and out limit switches. See page 27 of the attached document on how to perform this task if applicable.
