air step diagnosis

[Chuck Wheeler]

On ours one operates the step, one the Step Lights (inside and out), and one for the alarm. On our Wanderlodge they are all a NC switch. They open when depressed. Will your step activate from the dash switch or the switch near the door? We can exchange phone #s if you want.

Thanks, Chuck. Does your door have three switches? What do they operate besides the air step?

They are a common door switch. Granger has them and I have seen them at some hardware stores. The closets at our home use the same switch to activate the closet light when the door is opened.

Check the door switches.

There are three door switches in the door jamb. The lower one operates the step light and I don't know what the top two operate. The relays seem very hot to touch and they all have power. The pressure switch has power. The wire that supplies power to the extend solinoid has power all the time if the door is open or closed. The pressure strip has been removed and the end capped. The micro switches cancel power when the button is pressed. If anyone can help me troubleshoot this problem I would appreciate it. TIA Dan
