Kwickie step problems
Series 32 , I put a new AM motor #214-1009 in 2018, and new Linkage "A" I've tested the motor and it works fine, checked the gear and it's ok no broken teeth, With the motor off and connected to 12...

Do those relays have a thermal load protection, relays are usually on or off, with the protection being a load sense circuit that turns off the relay, or overload breaker resets
It appears This motor has internal protection circuit from overload, this AM 214 1009, this is an imgl motor from Lippert
When I grab the shaft and stop rotation, the motor disconnects , amps go too ZERO, it does not strain or groan or click, or draw more power trying to turn
If the current old controller ( which I did not replace in 2018 ) has failed, then the new correct controller should fix the problem
Control unit 909510000 is listed as the controller sold with this motor in the conversion kit for series 32
My situation ... did The old controller fail,
Or did the motor fail by protection failure, cut out at too soon, too small a load before the motor can extend the steps
This is the reason for my question, what is the load when extending or retracting the steps,
Why have a 20/25 amp fuse if the expected load is only 6 amps , less than 33% of the fuse
I'll put the motor back in with a DIY wiring pigtail and no controller and measure the load in and out, if the motor cuts out, then I'd know for sure it's the motor, I'll order the motor, if the steps move , ill put in the recommended imgl controller or rewired for manual switch operation
Designed to help the step automatically retract and extend when the coach door is opened and closed
Motor will automatically shut down if the step strikes an obstacle
