Motorhome Steps
Exciting thing happened to our steps.
We have been parked for about 3 weeks and then yesterday when I went out the MH and the steps looked funny. They looked about half way out. I reached down, grabbed the step and it moved freely in and out like a back yard swing. The steps series 34 Kwikee/PowerGear.
A call to Lippert and the advice given was to remove the power connector to the motor and apply 12v to see if the motor is working. Unfortunately I don't have the means to apply an external 12v source. I called a mobile tech and I am still waiting for a call back
We went on our merry way to visit some friends today and in conversation he said to start the engine and then go out, close the door and pull and push on the step to see if maybe the gear slipped. Hey, what do I have to loose.
When we returned I started the engine, went out side, closed the door and I didn't have to touch the steps. They went all the way in by themselves. I opened and closed the door several times and the steps are working perfectly.
Day before yesterday I started the engine to check if the ABS light was still on. We had hit some water and dirt and I was hoping it ws just temporary. It was, so I turned trhe engine off. I'm thinking I did not leave the key in the on position long enough for the steps to complete a cycle. Just thinking out loud.
Any ideas?
