Most Common Problem w/ RV AUTO STEPS - Solved My Kwikee Step Woes - RV Life

CHECK YOUR DOOR STEP WIRE FIRST AND FORMOST IF YOUR STEPS ARE ACTING UP.
Ours were stuck constantly trying to retract. switch polarity and they were stuck going out.
noticed- the door step wires were replaced with phone wire from previous owner.
door step wires became very brittle and snapped just touching it.
replaced and fixed.

Mine are that same thing right now stuck on stupid. Lol in but not all the way. . Think I'll check the house battery's first. And the ground. I already cleaned and greased. It went out then when it came back in Not all the way. I wiggles the sire that is on inside of the door. That tells it to open and close.

I tapped the motor with a hammer. Steps working again.

I have no idea what wires you are talking about. The wires to the motor? The wires from the battery? Mine is doing same thing----I'm trying to figure out what the problem is. The magentic switch is ok, I used a magnet to test it and hear it clicking---the light is on, so I know they are getting power- but stuck. I think i have the same issue you do. I will go see if I can figure out which wires are the problem. Thanks---great info---just work on the lighting on your videos! FYI my wires from the magentic switch were pinched under the little metal trim on the floor by door. I need to see if the conductor is damaged---the insulation is flat. I'm almost ready to just get manual stairs----these are great when they work but

You said 2 power wires. What color are they? I have an original wire that has no spot on the new control module.

Have a friend who says his won't work but when he puts not direct with a charger the motor works. So what's the next step now? Does it have fuses? Hope l can get an answer.

I would have liked to have watched you remove the motor.

Oil all the joints. The control box is detecting a load on the motor so it will switch it off because the joints need oiling
