You may have to trace the wires some. Are these automatic steps, or simply manually controlled electric steps? Especially if automatic, they are frequently wired to the chassis battery rather than the house battery.
On my (non-Jayco) motorhome, there is a separate breaker (powered by the house battery) for the steps that does not go through the coach disconnect switch, located near the batteries under the steps. That kind of makes sense since extending or retracting the steps is sometimes wanted after setting things up for storage.
