Stuck #866 Kwikee Van Steps
#14

Todd,
The toggle switch inside your coach works this way: When it is "on" your steps will open & close with the door. With the switch "off" the steps will open & close with the door when the ignition is "on", but open once and stay extended with the ignition "off". Note: I have worked on a friend's step on a '92 Fleetwood that the inside toggle switch would allow you to open or close the step with the ignition off. Kwikee said they manufactured the control box that way for a very short period of time.

I believe the switch that Tom is referring to is the one that recognizes whether the door is open or closed. I'm betting that your steps will work backwards as in 2000 Kwikee changed their door switch polarity. When I got my new steps in 2010 they came with a new door switch. The door switch in my Newell WAS a push button type. The new one is a contact type switch not a toggle switch. When the door is closed the two switch halves meet & make contact. The toggle switch inside my coach now works backwards of how it used to work, but that is not a problem.

Let us know what you find when the batteries are hooked up.
