Rv Electric Steps Not Working

The most obvious source of the problem is that you have inadvertently hit a switch that turns off the automatic steps.

Rv electric steps not working.

The electric step on my motor home is not working. When the ignition is on it retracts. The step motor is likely bad and needs to be replaced. I believe it also works off a remote control.

A refrigerator working appliances lights and other machinery run on electricity and when electrical problems arise you need to know how to troubleshoot them. If your rv uses door sensors to control step motion you could have an issue with the sensors being blocked out of alignment. Even the new ones have trouble. When it is in the off position the steps will not go in or out automatically.

If a positive or negative voltage is present when the door switch is activated then the step motor is getting power but not working. Make sure you re not in the way of the step mechanism. Depending on the system you have there could be a fuse in the main power panel or in the wiring between the battery and step controller or motor. Well it s usually not the step.

Sometimes they work sometimes they don t. It s usually the power plug that supplies power t. There s nothing worse than an electrical problem to bring your rv road trip adventure to a halt. It works on two switches out and in.

Be careful where you place your hands and arms when reconnecting plugs on the step. It can be overwhelming and the whole idea of having an rv instead of traditional camping is to have all of the amenities of home. I have had the step pulled apart and there is nothing mechanically wrong. The electric motor is getting power so it is not the fuse.

It is also linked to the ignition. While visiting a fellow rver friend of mine recently i helped him out by diagnosing and fixing his motorhome entrance steps.
