Our electric steps suddenly stopped working... we got to a dry camping spot, steps would not extend. We tried opening and closing door, turning ignition on and off, several times. We gave up thinking that they would not work... then they worked, for the entire weekend. Got home.. and same thing. Not working. Will not extend. What should I be looking for?Thanks

Wire not tight or maybe a bad ground.

Here is the information i used when repairing the steps on my BIL's Monaco Dynasty.I called a large RV parts dealer in Texas, and told him that I needed a motor for a 32 series Kwikee step. He said that I could not get just a motor that I would have to buy the complete kit that included the controller, gear box and motor as a matched kit. The cost was $209 for the kit. I told him that I had heard that the motor was a window lift motor. He said that he had not heard that and that he doubted that information.I did research and found that by looking on the NAPA internet site they had photos of the lift motors. I found that a 1986-1995 Ford Taurus left front window lift motor matched my motor. NAPA part # BK655-1395 $63.99 I ordered my motor from Auto-Zone Manufactured by Dorman part# 742-206. This has a lifetime Warranty and was $49.99.

Mine has been problematic since I got my unit. But, mine always stuck out... which is more inconvenient. The problem each time has been the magnet/sensor reading.

I don't recall the brand of my electric step, but it malfunctioned last trip. There is a push button switch mounted in the frame of the door that activates the step, much like found on a car door for interior lights to go on when you open the door. The switch is too subject to dirt and moisture. Simply taking my fingers and rotating the switch button a few times was sufficient to clean the contacts a little and it worked well after that. Also, I sprayed a little WD40 silicon (not oil) into the mechanism.
