KwiKee Electric Steps
I have a 2004 Allegro with KwiKee steps that will not retract with the step sw. , the door closing or the ignition bypass, has anyone else had this problem ?

As mentioned, most folks vote for a bad controller. But before spending the $$$, try tapping the motor with a (small) hammer while its trying to close. If it operates, then the motor is bad. Also check for a bad ground on the controller, they are known for causing issues. And as noted, keep hands and arms clear!
as said already try putting 12V directly to motor if it works then its controller or switch magnet
The idea here is that if there is a sticky brush in the motor, a hammer tap will likely get it going again, albeit temporarily. Putting 12 volts on a motor with a sticky brush won't make it run. This was the case with my step.
