Of course going out of town and the stairs have gone heywire!
1998 Georgie Boy Cruiser Diesel. When I turn the stair switch on, the motor runs without turning off, even with the stair out. Closing the door does not stop it unless you turn the switch off first. Closing the door with the switch on, results in motor running all the time and the stairs go in half way and spaz out. Jerking and never going all the way in. I have changed out the switch inside with a know good switch.
Any help or can I some how use them manually?

Hotwheelbill,
Yep, as has been stated, it's most likely some portion of the gear box that is malfunctioning. I recently had close to the same symptoms. Mine had been functioning fine ever since we purchased the coach, about 4 years ago. But, upon return from a recent trip, that's when things started to go south. Mine would go out but, at the end of the travel, it would buck and make a bunch of noise, vibrate etc.
So, I pulled the gear box and motor assembly down and, went to work on them for inspection. What I found is, as you'll see in the pictures, a bad "driven" gear. The "Drive" gear was fine. And, as usual, I contacted Kwikee about my issue and, told them all I need was one, 3" gear. NOPE, they don't sell just parts. They sell complete new mechanisms, for a mere $350.00.
So, I ventured over to Amazon and, picked up a brand new gear box, identical to mine, for a whopping $60.00. Yahooooo.
I changed over the new unit and, all is fine.
