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 12v power and me grabbing hold of the drive output with 2 fingers, the motor stalls out shuts down quits drawing power around 5 to 6 amps, measured with my clamp on DC ampmeter, I can't measure transient / surge peak, I don't know if this reading is correct or low, or if I have a bad controller not feeding power, or if the Motors internal protection is faulty and this shut off occurs too soon, this is fused with a 20amp FUSE in the BCC, and the step control fuse is 5 amps, fuses are good, original 1997 OEM controller 909513
I'm considering rewiring for manual operation using a DPDT momentary rocker switch, so it could not be accidentally forgotten and burn out the motor, although that appears to be a non issue, since the Motor built in protection circuit is operating, but might not be correct, does anybody know what the load current is supposed to be, and if I need a new controller, what is correct version, this is the old series 32, not the newer lippert imgl version
I'm Also considering using a wireless remote type motor controller for the step,
If I change the control wiring, I can eliminate the OEM wiring , the converter the 200AmpHR AGM and the inverter are in the compartment next to the entry door, just inches from the step
