ours did that and it was the "limit" switch located on the driver's side in the electrical bay. We tapped it with a hammer and it worked enough to get it back in the open position. We haven't used the step cover since. It's not an easy repair due to where the switch is located. Of course it could be other things like the motor but I would try the limit switch(es) first.
Here's another post that might explain: "Eric and the boys at Priemere motor coach service center in Tucson fixed my long standing problem with my cover. There are two micro switches in the circuit that stop the cover at each end of travel. One is easily replaced in the field the other isn't. So I have been fighting the cover off an on from almost day one for nine years. The techs at my first visit just by passed them last year. No problems since. You have to think now when you use the switches and disengage them promptly at the completed end of travel as not to over heat the motor, but I think we can handle that."
