- JimMartinExplorerLooked at the step again this morning. Apparently the person who owned it before me did some work to it.
The roll pin ( or whatever you call it) is missing. The gear between the motor and the step moves around because of this. Also there is no longer a controller wired into my step. The motor is just hard wired to the switch inside the RV.
FYI: There is no door switch on this model.
Went to local RV repair guy and he gave me a old roll pin he had. I will try to put it in tomorrow and see if it works. - Chris_BryantExplorer IIIf it's original, take a look at this blog post of mine. A few dollars in parts.
- ksg5000Explorer IITest the door switch - both toggle and magnetic. If motor works and switches work then chances are you need a new controller unit. Kwikee used to have a step by step diagnostic PDF on their website - worth a loook.
- azrvingExplorerIs there power at the wire that goes to the motor? If there is power at the fuse maybe the problem is in the wire from the fuse to the motor. I know I have seen a lot of cheesy wire connections out in the elements under RV's
