What is this electrical component?
I have been working on a Kwikee step that won't retract when the engine starts. I finally traced it down to what I thought was just a wire pulling out of a butt connector. That thread is HERE. I bo...

One side of the resistor goes to engine power. The other side of the resistor goes to the diode and to the step controller for power input. The other side of the diode (which you haven't found) goes to ground. That's how my steps work. The resistor/diode network are located in a short connector harness. It's an add-on. In a pinch, you should be able to remove this short harness and re-connect.
Salvo is 100% correct on this. The single wire is on the engine side. The pair of wires are on the step side. The green wire goes to ground, but first goes through a itsy bitsy electronic part that I bet is a Zener Diode.
Since it is a harness, I may be able to buy the entire harness from either Kwikee or Winnebago. It would be a lot better than trying to kludge it up myself. All I would have to do is plug in the two harness connectors, and run the green wire to ground.
