Step Cylinder

[Bryan Altier]

Jim, On our 88 WB40 we had the same problem and I took the air switch apart and
cleaned/ lube and that seemed to do the trick. At time will not work with low
air, however works good when it gets air.

I have a problem with my step, it will not retract. I have both
switches in the correct position, and full air pressure, and nothing
happens when I close the door. Any suggestions?
