Two short questions.

Kerry, the answer is not really! :>) The dash switch will over ride
the step switch. The step switch will work the step I guess designed
to flip the switch as you head out/in the door. I very seldom use the
dash switch. Why not try some combinations of the switches..as I said
it could have been modified...By the way did you do the search of the
forum archives of posts..there is LOTS of info on the steps and how
they work. You did say previous that you had a Blue Box anything in
there??
