I have had to take the motor off to release the steps twice now because they were jammed, seemed over centre for some reason, driving me nuts, have had to replace the crooked arm the second time now because of over pressure and it is brokin again, have reset the step stop bolts so don't know where to go next, other than put a manual switch on and for get about all the automatic stuff, have thought of a 3 way switch, any thoughts would be very much appreiated.
If your motor is applying that much torque you have a bad controller. The controller senses the current rise when the arm hits the stop on the gear casting. The only thing the adjustable stops do is keep the steps from rattling. The controller is expensive but it beats tearing the stupid motor/gear assembly apart.
Someone listed the old address and phone numbers for Kwikee. They were bought out by a gear company that makes slide mechinisms for RVs. They will not deal with end users and sometimes they will not deal with dealers either. Good luck finding someone knowledgable to help you.
