RE: electric step
look on the inside door frame ,, with the door open ,, u should see something that looks like a dime wrapped in plastic ,, if not u may have the type of switch that is built into the latch mechanism,,, have u ever had any other probs with the step ,, such as not coming out or ,, (if u have one ) the step light not being on ,, or has it ever gone in and out a bunch of times ?????
If so ,, u may have a control box problem ,, which i have found on most of these brand steps ,, that was the main prob ,, what year is u'r MH ,, i'll look into the Kwickee manuals i have and see where and what the prob might be
