FWIW, every Kwikee step is available without the electronics- with a simple switch. People just don't buy them. Microswitches are a fine idea, but will soon become more complex than the electronics, given the current capacity needed and the environment they are in. B&L made an electric step which used a cam operated microswitch with an spdt door switch, and a non-reversing motor.
An easier option for a warning switch would be a magnetic reed switch.
I believe that... with the money I've seen retirees drop on their coaches--
But thats convenience for them.. I'm glad I was able to set the switch up simply because I didn't want to be at the mercey of the control unit.. But truth be told.. I MAY spring for a new control unit IF I don't find one cheap in salvage, eBay etc..
For me.. simpler is better..
Less things to break..
And it kind of pisses me off that the unit fried JUST by removing the ground wire...
I still don't get that
