Why are the steps not working in my RV?

Answer: The most obvious source of the problem is that you have inadvertently hit a switch that turns off the automatic steps. For instance, in our RV there is a toggle switch near the entry door that allows us to turn off the automatic steps.

What to do if your steps are not working?

Do not forget to check for faulty parts or bad connections to the door switch sensor and the on/off switch to the steps. If you still cannot determine what the problem is then contact the step manufacturer and/or Jayco for help. If that fails to bring results, then you will have to take the RV to a competent RV repair facility. Hope that helps.

What to do if your step motor is not working?

Start by making sure you have power to the step motor. Then trace the wiring all the way to the battery. You are looking for loose or broken wires, poor continuity, bad grounds, or blown fuses. Do not forget to check for faulty parts or bad connections to the door switch sensor and the on/off switch to the steps.

When do you retract the steps in your RV?

When we are driving for the day, our RV has a fail-safe system that retracts the steps whenever the ignition is on. In addition, we also turn the step switch to the ON position. This way when we park in a parking lot or some other roadside stop in our travels, the steps only go out when we open the door and then they retract when we close the door.
