Spizzer,
At www.kwikee.com you can get a .pdf of the manual for your steps. In the troubleshooting section it describes how to test the ignition override functions. Assuming everything was working right until now, something may have gone bad with the control module OR the signal was lost from the ignition. JM2ยข...
Teddyu,
I can't seem to get to that website...? I do have the manual with the trouble shooting guide. That is what I was using to check the yellow wire for the 12 volt ignition on signal. At one plug, there was a 12 volt signal, at the second plug, 6 inches farther, it was two volts. In between the two plugs is the green wire attached to ground. It can't be just a wire, or it would be a hard short, but there must be something in that wire shrink wrap like a diode or resistor. Removing the section of wire unplugging both plugs and conntecting the free ends together results in the step to functio properly.
I am afraid I am removing some kind of circuit protection, however, and am hesitant to just leave it out.
