This would allow you to isolate the problem.

Now it seems like there's no power, but I've checked everything I can think of.
Your response here makes me think you have not actually checked for power at the steps as mabynack suggested. Please do so and report back. Saying something "seems" is not helpful in diagnosing a problem.

As I recall there is a plastic/nylon gear that transfers the energy from the motor to the step mechanism and the motor is strong enough to strip that gear. That would be consistent with your description. I think it is a fairly easy fix if someone has the parts.
This actually is the most likely scenario from your description of the steps swinging back and forth.

They are now kind of just hanging there, sticking out a few inches and loosely just swinging back and forth with a little applied pressure.
