Kwikee has two different controllers.. I am not sure when the new controller came out but it may be yours is a Transistion unit, (New controller, old manual)
The old one I am not sure but the impression I got is that the switch was a POWER switch (in fact I know it was called power) and locked the steps in whatever position they were (IN/OUT or part way)
The new one it is called an OVERIDE and operates excatly as you cite, Steps will follow door if switch is OFF, stay out if switch is ON.
I added a toggle that Spoofs the door swtich, with this switch in the NORMAL position the steps work normally
When I activate this switch the door is closed, far as the steps know.
Difference #2 between the controllers (There are 3 major differences)
One of them the door switch follows the door (Closed = Closed) the other it Mirrors the door (Closed = Open) So I do not recall if the switch I added was in series with the door switch or in parallel. Easy to fix it.
The third difference The OLD controller (POWER SWITCH) was a retangular box
You can see this box with the steps extended if you look up under the motor home (Steps retracted they cover it).
The new one really has 4 sides but one side is very long so it looks like a right triangle at first glance. (Proper name is Trapizoid if I recall correctly, One long "Bottom: side, a right angle, to an end, then another right angle to a short "Top" side, then a long side at an a pair of angles other than 90% (Still add up to 180 though) to finish the box.
