My electric steps come out when I turn on my headlights
When I turn on my headlights on my 2000 Winnebago the electric steps come out. When I turn off the headlights the steps go back in. Any helpful suggestions?????

Maybe I'm thinking backwards here. If he "energizes" his headlights and the steps operate, wouldn't that mean his headlights are searching for and finding a good ground through the steps circuit? I'd be checking the headlight ground.
You're correct in that the issue could be with either. That said, it's most likely a grounding issue with the steps as they take the most beating being outside in the weather. Also, it's the easiest fix as you don't have to be a contortionist to access them. Realistically, I'd take another wire and ground the steps ensuring a good ground. If the issue is resolved, then I'd do a permanent fix. If not, then I'd explore the light switch also..could be either, but my money is on the steps....Dennis
