Rv Electric Steps Not Working

It can be overwhelming and the whole idea of having an rv instead of traditional camping is to have all of the amenities of home.

Rv electric steps not working.

While visiting a fellow rver friend of mine recently i helped him out by diagnosing and fixing his motorhome entrance steps. For instance in our rv there is a toggle switch near the entry door that allows us to turn off the automatic steps. The electric step on my motor home is not working. When it is in the off position the steps will not go in or out automatically.

Depending on the system you have there could be a fuse in the main power panel or in the wiring between the battery and step controller or motor. Even the new ones have trouble. I have had the step pulled apart and there is nothing mechanically wrong. Make sure you re not in the way of the step mechanism.

If your rv uses door sensors to control step motion you could have an issue with the sensors being blocked out of alignment. Be careful where you place your hands and arms when reconnecting plugs on the step. The step motor is likely bad and needs to be replaced. Sometimes they work sometimes they don t.

The electric motor is getting power so it is not the fuse. I believe it also works off a remote control. Well it s usually not the step. The power supply that your parked rv is plugged into can cause problems if it is supplying too much or too little power fluctuates is not grounded correctly or its connector is corroded.

It s usually the power plug that supplies power t. A refrigerator working appliances lights and other machinery run on electricity and when electrical problems arise you need to know how to troubleshoot them. They were stuck in the out posit. There s nothing worse than an electrical problem to bring your rv road trip adventure to a halt.

It is also linked to the ignition. It works on two switches out and in.
