Great post by BruceMc:
My dad has the kwickee step on his Minni Winni and was not working. Stayed retracted and not going out when opening the coach door. The coach batteries were fine which are in a compartment right above the step. The problem was the Ford engine battery was failed. (7.5 volts). Replaced battery in the engine compartment and the kwickee step works fine as well as the engine starting again. I did not realize that the step was powered by the engine battery instead of the coach batteries.
From my experience with this, the step controller appears to get signals (via ignition position) from the chassis battery BUT the step motor gets juice from the coach battery. Not with standing, if the system is equipped with a BIRD module (Bi-Directional Isolator Relay Delay) then both batteries may be in parallel as controlled by the BIRD module.
