KWIKEE STEP FROZE EXTENDED!
Arrived to have the windshield replaced, bad memory returning from Florida!
Step extended when I opened the door as designed. When I came back and drove the rig into the garage, the staff pointed and declared that the step is still out.
The manager worked almost an hour trying to find the issue, I too was under the coach, only found a grey wire, unattached coming out of the control unit, with no where for it to apparently go.
Did a lot of research, and no where does Kwikee indicate a grey wire, only one post mentioned he also had an issue and noted the grey wire.
Ok, long story short, the four wired plug when handled got the step working again, so put some electric type grease it in, reassembled it, and put some black electric tape over it since it hangs right under the battery box`s., and the plug itself was showing some brittle age,
but the pins etc., in both plug ends were perfectly clean, no rust, dirt etc.
Then guess what, the step did not work again, went back under started pulling the tape off, one end of the plug dropped all 4 wires cleanly out of the plug end, appears the crimps inside the plug were not crimped at all.
Did a direct wire to wire to make today`s repair until I can acquire a new 4 way plug.
