KWIKEE STEP MOTOR REPLACEMENT SERIES 32

I had problems with my Kwikee step Series 32. The steps on occasion would not retract. I had to tap the motor with a hammer while closing the door to get them to work even in doing this it was may or not work on the next try. I had lubricated the steps and linkage, and checked the door switch, controller, and battery voltage using the Technical tips on the Kwikee Step internet site. Also I took the motor off the gear box and checked for any worn, or broken parts in the gear box. All checked out fine. This left the step motor as being the part that needed replacement.

Well right on queue before leaving this coming weekend, the step on my coachmen started blowing fuses. Before this it kept starting to come down at different times and then ceased to work at all. I checked the 30amp fuse and it was blown. I replaced the fuse and it blew immediately. Something is definately shorted in the circuit. The steps of course are dead in the water which makes getting in and out of the coach pretty fun at this point. I went ahead and ordered a motor just in case from autozone, so it should be here tomorrow night. I will get the volt meter out and do some debugging I guess while I wait for the UPS guy to show up with parts. Nothing like owning a used coach right? :B
