Well that is interesting to say the least!!!
Went to go into the C Sat. morning to put some stuff in it. Open the door and the electric step came out as normal. Put my foot on the step and stepped up, as I did I hear a noise, that I didn't like ...

A note of caution, if I may...I just dealt with a similar issue and it was a bear to get right. One of the problems I faced, and I suspect you may as well..there are two flammable materials close to the metal box you are going to be welding. Wood and that foam insulation. Just check, if you are going to be close to the wood, do a stitch and let cool and have water close to hand...and if near the foam? That is unstoppable if it should ignite.
There were two tearing and stress issues. The box itself had torn, so that was stitched welded and then the stairs were really weakened by the years of weight being applied unevenly. (the left side is the one that get the most weight) Ultimately we welded where we could safely and then pulled the stairs out, like 4 times...and welded and re-enforced the heck out those.
