air step repair and troubleshooting

[Jeff Miller]

Running most there is the air ram, two microswitches ('84-on or one
before '84), an additional lock air-ram ('84-ish), and the air solenoid.

As there were several configurations of air step controls, it would be
helpful to know your year and model, one size doesn't fit all.

It could be that the step is jammed, if it is the version with the
small lock air-ram under the edge of the doorway that could be jammed
and locking the step out. Be careful to keep any part of your body that
is important to you away from moving parts, it could suddenly free up
and slam open/closed.

More information might help troubleshooting, model/year, and is the
step stuck out or in? Is there sufficient air pressure?
