Electric steps and battery draw
Anyone else have this issue? It's been over a month since our last trip in our Class C. We have to close the step due to how much space it takes up on our driveway. I'd say on average it's used twice ...

Yes that's correct it's a Ford Taurus power window motor.. actually had to replace it a few months back. I haven't lubed it yet but doesn't seem to have a issue. It does have both the battery disconnect and electric step switch. The battery disconnect doesn't work.. the electric step switch is only to keep it from working if you're parked for a period of time. If you shut if off it'll still do the initial retraction which I really want to correct!
Not sure how it's wired truthfully.. need to trace the wires. The main constant feed is from the vehicle battery and another switched source from the front. But there must be another from the house battery as it didn't work when it was disconnected. Don't think I'll buy another Jayco.
There is no draw after the initial connection to the battery. It started out at 1amp for about 15 seconds then dropped to 0.06 after 15-20 seconds dropped to 0. It did pull 5-7 amps but it is a heavy duty power motor. I'll look at the trik-l-start.. looks like it puts out more amps about it.
