Inoperative air step

[Glenn Allen]

When the step is extended, there is a pin that gets extended if you
flip the step master switch (on the dash or in the stepwell). This
pen Locks the step in the extended position to keep it from moving
when air pressure is lost. When the step retracts, it relys on air
pressure to keep it retracted. If your step will not stay retracted,
then you either have a switch, relay, or air problem. If the step
trys to retract, then the relay might be doing its job and commanding
the retraction. However, if it does not fully retract or it fully
retracts but does not stay forcefully retracted, I would think you
have an air pressure problem or an air cylinder problem.

Just be careful in having a head or hand around the step when
activating. It has some power and could do some damage.
