These 2 wires go up and in the end of the roller. They have connectors as you can see on each end. Should I cut those off to short the wires?

I wouldn't cut the connectors off. You might even ask Newmar if there is a plug-in switch that originally came with your coach. Or, you could find a mating plug at an electronics supply place and build your own.

Personally, I would just find some insulated solid-conductor wire of the appropriate size (20 AWG?) to insert into the contacts and make a U-shaped shorting wire. Strip the insulation off about a quarter inch on each end of a 2" piece of wire. Then you can just insert the shorting wire into both sides of the plug when you need to reset the shade limits. Actually, it might be more convenient than holding a switch down during the programming sequence.

If the wire pairs are not labeled, know that one set is to program the "visor" and one set for the "shade." Once you determine which is which, be sure to label them.

Good luck.

That connector looks like an AutoMotionShade programmer connector. You need the programmer to reset. See the below document.

I think we should determine if the op has Automotion shades or MCD.

Based on this TSB, it appears that the 2014/2015 MADP had AutoMotion shades and I know that the 2018 MADP does too. I would expect the years in between do too, but as you stated the OP need to confirm.
