On our Jayco Greyhawk (in signature), the motor for the steps failed. I followed the troubleshooting procedure in the Kwikee #888 manual. I bought the 4 pin test connector pigtail. If you disconnect the 4 pin connector, there is no power to the motor. The only fuses I found for the steps were the inline fuses near the steps.
If I had to do it again, I would test the motor first. The 4 pin test connector cost me $25 and didn't tell me anything since the motor was dead. The control board can't be ruled out as the problem until the motor is ruled out.
I wasn't able to get my voltmeter probes onto the motor's power connector, I just could not make a solid connection. I don't have a test light. I ended up cutting the 2 wires and used bullet connectors to put them back together. I confirmed the motor was dead and replaced it.
