Vehicle awnings are a smart way for off road truck and jeep owners to get a break from the sun on those hot days.
Car awnings dont work.
Take some time inspecting the awning for any signs of warping weather damage rusting tearing in the awning fabric itself or the motor overheating and working too hard.
Simply pull it out and rope the legs into the begs.
There are several problems that can cause the awning not to work correctly.
The awning itself retracts into a pvc polyester cover and is then secured into a very tough nylon bag which is also pvc reinforced.
Although i can see the wire i don t think i can possibly reach down there to get at the connection.

If there is no sound then it could be a completely failed motor or even just the switch.
The telescopic arms could experience a gas leak requiring them to be refilled or your awning could need a new motor which could be a hassle.
If it s clicking it could be the gear stripped or even a binding and the motor tries but shuts down due to the binding.
Motorized retractable patio awnings are the easiest to use but the functionality of the motor and the telescopic arms may need more maintenance.
Check the power connections to see if there is a short in the wiring or the cord is not plugged in.
