Pete,

I have to post this
I sent you the drawings in a seperate e-mail. I am interested how mine works
since the drawings state actuated when extended and retracted on each mercury switch. It is not clear to me at this point.

I cannot see how this could happen. If so, it would be accomplished somehow by mercury switch position with door switches working properly, but if the opposite mercury switch was not closed awaiting power I cannot understand how the step would move in the opposite direction. I noticed while working on mine that the actuating solenoids(coils they are called on the valve itself) get faily warm which generated this question. If power is constant the appropriate actuating coil will stay fairly warm. If this is normal I am good. In short, is power constantly applied on the coil in its respective park position at all times until either the aux step switch is moved or the door is moved thereby sending power through a mercury switch to the opposite end of the air solenoid to actuate it. I hope this makes sense to someone.

I have to post this
Leroy:
When that is mentioned, it tells you that the switch is operated either in the extended or retracted position. I have sent you a redrawn diagram, but I have to look at it closely. Will do that soon.
