Kwikee electric step

Sanediego,

I think you've received good advice so far. The only thing I would like to add is that you be VERY CAREFUL working around the steps while they are energized. It's easy to accidentally reach through the steps or between the linkages while trying to jockey into a better position, and if the steps energized during that time they could cause severe physical damage to fingers, hands & arms.

Be safe and Good Luck!!!

Kwikee steps has two circuits and two grounds.
One circuit fused off the ignition switch. The other fused circuit is off the chassis battery system.
Both my fuses are in the battery control center.
Grounds in the dirty area around the step should be checked.
Kwikee step wiring diagram might not be for your specific model.

Not if it is retracted:B

With engine running, open and close the entry door. IF the amber underneath step light comes ON and OFF. Then the wiring is OK(fuse also). IF the step light comes ON and off with door opening and closing, then have someone open and close the door with you HITTING the motor with a hammer. rapidly. If the motor has a dead spot(usual cause), the hammering will jar it to open. BUT, you will still need a new motor as it WILL fail again and usually when it is extended. But if this is the case the hammer trick will get it to retract. Doug

If it is a Kwikee, then the motor is probably the failure. They fail quite often and are easy to replace.

Is it stuck in or out?
