kwikee electric steps

I took my steps off for painting and when i put them back on they will not stay out . whenever i shut the door the steps go in . even when i turn the bottom off i can not keep the steps out. I have made sure the wiring is correct . the only way i can keep them out is to take the magnet off the screen door ,any help would be appreciated

    My controller got a bit confused when I did the same thing.

    If I remember I think I powered it one way or the other, in or out. Then turned the switch off or on, can't remember. Then reconnected the motor.

    I know this sounds goofy but the thing stops when it feels the current go up from hitting the end of travel. The controller does not know if this is the open position or the closed position. You just reconnected things when it was in the opposite position.

    You can use the input power and bypass the control box but you have to watch all your appendages. Be very careful.
