Kwikee Steps
My steps would not lock in the open position. They would open and close when the door was opened or closed. While driving they suddenly opened. I was alerted by a trucker. Now I can't close them so...

Try fixing them!
Many times step issues are a result of a bad ground under the step. There could be two grounds that needs to be cleaned up.
Yes, you can jumper the motor to retract the steps. Should have twelve volts on large red wire under the step. Locate the connector to the motor. Apply power and ground to the step motor. If it retracts disconnect power. If it does not retract reverse the polarity on the jumper(wire you used to connect power and ground)
BECAREFUL stay clear of mechanism.
DO not drive with step out. I found my step was out the hard way. Curb!
