The Kwikee steps on my coach will not extend. A couple days ago they were slow to extend, worked okay and quit again. Yesterday they would not extend, I moved coach and went back later and they worked fine. They would not extend this morning. Moved the coach in the afternoon, but the steps still don't extend. I wiggled the wires at the sensor at the door, but nothing. That is the only thing I know how to check. Can anyone give me any ideas?

There is two ground wires under the step that causes problems due to corrosion.

Your description sounds like a loose connection somewhere. Possibly a loose ground, or the wires from the door magnets. Check the grounds first as a faulty ground can cause all sorts of problems.

Manuals and trouble shooting procedures are available on-line.

When I had this problem I found a wire that had come undone at a splice. I followed the wires to where they were taped with electrical tape. Took the tape off and there was a red wire that had come out of the splice. After redoing the wire everything has worked fine since.

Steps need to be lubed at pivot points to function properly.

I agree with the other posters, loose or corroded wire or ground wire under step area.
