Door Steps Won't Come In
My door steps just quit coming in. Had no trouble with them and now on the road. Any ideas would be appreciated I'm on the road..

Kwikee uses common window riser motors. both Ford and GM depending on the step model.
First... You do not want to be anywhere the steps might go to when the door is opened and closed,
But try this, "Tunk" the motor.. I use the HANDLE of a hammer (hold the head in my hand) a few times then try opening and closing the door again.
1: "The switch by the door"
Old controllers it would indeed lock the steps out or in
new ones lock out only..
Ignition overrides in both cases so if the engine is running and you close the door it SHOULD close.
2: There is a magnetic reed switch in the door jam. Normally about 1/2 inch from the bottom on the latch side where the screen sits.. For some reason the magnet (Which is in the screen door) was not getting close enough. I had to bend things a bit.. Then it worked.
