I have to post this
I have mine working except for an intermittant light.
I have studied the drawing so long I still don't know what is going on. Does anyone know what happens electrically when the step is either fully extended or fully retracted( in the park position for lack of a better phrase)Is power totally released from the air step solenoids when the park positions are attained? 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.

Step' with the word 'extended' below the switch to one side. The system ignores the switch when the ignition switch is on (the step is withdrawn unless the door is open). The well light switch is conveniently located on the lower front panel by the steps where you regularly bump it if you're carrying stuff (such as a bundle of laundry) on or off the bus...
