Being lazy here re:Kwikee Step wiring
I am being lazy here and hope to keep from having to trace the wire back. I have a Kwikee step that still works perfectly when you open and close the house door, but no longer retracts when you sta...

OP here. The problem is not fixed yet, but Chris Bryant was a tremendous help. The electrical diagrams allowed me to trace the circuits while sitting at my kitchen table and find the 6a circuit breaker that Winnebago put on the switched hot wire. It was in one of my basements.
The breaker is hot on both terminals when the engine is working, so I definitely know the problem is after that. That leaves me with about 2 wires and 2 connectors as well as the step controller itself. When the ground is dry, I will crawl under the RV and pull the connector closest to the step apart to see if that wire is hot when energized. That will identify whether the problem is in the step or the wire.

Don't tell DW, but I took her shower curtain and laid it on the ground so I could crawl under there today. I found a butt connector that had pulled loose. I started the engine and pushed the wire back into the butt connector, and the step retracted. I am on my way now to buy some butt connectors.
