RV steps don't retract when engine is started
I just got my rig out of the shop for some maintenance, and on my way home (almost all the way home), I noticed that the steps were not retracted. I drove 25 miles on the highway without seeing that -...

I think I identified the breaker for the ignition override line of the steps:
I don't see how to make the IMG tag work ... so here's a link instead:

I've never this type of breaker trip, but I assume that when one trips, the white plastic piece pops out.
Well, tracing the cable did not work out well. The loom for the cable leading to the vehicle side of the 4-wire connector leads right away into a larger loom containing many other wires. I followed that larger loom; it snaked under the floor to the opposite (drivers) side of the RV. It then lead into one of the basement compartments. Unfortunately, that area of the basement is boxed out with metal. So, looking at it from the inside of that compartment, the loom is behind a metal plate.
This is directly under the galley area, so I'm going to dig around behind panels in the galley lower cabinets. Maybe I can find that loom and continue my search for the source of this mysteriously missing 12 volts.
But now it's time to cook a Memorial Day steak! Enjoy the rest of the Holiday!
Thanks again all.
