Today we're going to be taking a look at the Replacement Control Module for an Electric Coach Step. This replaces the control module that came standard on your single, double, or triple electric Lippert Coach Step, or Stromberg Carlson Sliding Step. This unit simply houses the circuits and electrical components necessary for the step to function properly. It's going to include the weatherproof wiring and connectors. It installs underneath the base of your step with four self-tapping screws. The screws are not included, but when you're ready to install this, you'll remove the self-tapping screws holding the ground wires on your previous module. Then you'll need to disconnect the four pin connector to the motor wiring harness, that will look just like this one.
Disconnect the two pin connector to the motor, it's going to look just like this one. Remove the self-tapping screws holding your module in place, and simply install the new module in reverse order. A few measurements to go over with you real quick and then we're going to go over a few of the wire functions. Edge to edge going this direction, it's going to give us a measurement of 5 13/16". Going this direction, just measuring the box portion, that's going to be 4 1/8". The holes are separated on center going this direction by 3 1/8", and the hole separation on center in this direction, is going to be 5.25". Really nice design.
Again, you're going to have your four pin connector, goes to the motor wiring harness. Two pin connector that goes directly to the motor and then your black wire right here, this is going to be the wire that gets connected for the step light. You're going to have two green wires, these are both ground wires. One grounds the chassis, the other one grounds to the steps. Then your purple wire, located right here, this is going to be for the step light switch.
That's going to do it for today's look at the Replacement Control Module for an Electric Coach Step. Again, this replaces the control module that came standard on your single, double, or triple electric Lippert Coach Step or Stromberg Carlson Sliding Step.
Installed on my 2007 Newmar Dutch Star retractable steps. Basically, a plug and play. Went right on worked like a charm. Took maybe 45-min to an hour
Perfect replacement part.
Wiring instructions would be helpful, where do the purple and black wires go?
Easy to install plug and play unit works good .
the product was shipped and received at my temporary RV location very rapidly. it worked when i installed it since i was armed with some slight installation tips from product reviews. well done! i always like dealing with etrailer.com cheers. Gene from the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally...
Excellent customer service from Mike B, the part was a perfect replacement and fixed my problem, thanks for another great transaction.
The new replacement module was perfect. Installation was a breeze and now I realize that my old control module was creating more problems that I knew about. Highly recommend this product.
Excellent control module. Everything worked when the steps were mounted and plugged in. Very happy with your service. I was able to track my package across the US and Canada. Arrived on time that was stated.
perfect fit works well
It's already installed and working great so far. We will be giving a major test in June. As usual you and your staff are great. Thks.
I have a 2006 DutchStar. This product was as close to an exact replacement as you can get. The customer service from etrailer was awesome as they checked with Lippert mfg before I order just to make sure it would work and even sent me a pdf of the wiring diagram so I could figure out the install. I was on the road and staying at a KOA, shipping was fast and the box was well enough marked that there was no problem getting it when it arrived.

actually ... its been two years. No issue since the install!!!
My 2006 Monaco Diplomat steps stopped retracting and extending completely and reading on etrailer website found others with same problem. Called etrailer to order the correct step module and received it quickly. The module item number was LC301702 and it matched all the plugins and wires except there was a purple wire that was not necessary for my unit which I capped off. Thanks for the help!

Works great and is a better design than the original is sealed to keep moisture out of the electronics. It also fit perfectly.
My wife and I lived with our entry steps intermittently failing to retract for far too long. We are thankful that we didn’t end up damaging them. More thankful for the excellent product from etrailer.com. Perfect replacement for our 20 year old Monaco.

STILL WORKING GREAT!!!
Very pleased with staff and service at etrailer! They were helpful in determining the proper product. Received the part very quickly and installed it. But....then realized it was not compatible with the door magnets; however, was able to get the right magnets and send out immediately. Very pleased that the problem was rectified so quickly.

So far...so good.
Module arrived as expected and was priced competitively.
Product is RV step controller, and was an exact replacement for old device. Fit perfectly, and works as it should. Be careful of motor plug orientation--if wrong, device opens/closes door opposite correct way. Price was good.

Working as it should.
The control module for the electric step on our RV stopped working because it became corroded from sprayed sand and water. The new unit is much better designed and fully insulated against a repeat of the problem. It works very well and was delivered as promised. I am pleased with the service.

Thank you for reminding me that I had purchased the Lippert Components Accessories. I am pleased to report that it has worked perfectly from the date that I installed it. The delivery was on time and the instruction information helpful. All told, I am pleased with the service and the improvement in the module. It is greatly improved.
The module we received worked fine & the service at etrailer was outstanding. They go the extra mile. The module was for our motor coach step.

It works great & we are really happy with your service.
Received the LC301702 control box quickly and installed. This control box resolved my inoperable step problem. I have the Double Coach step installed on my 2005 Newmar Kountry Star DP. On my installation the purple and black wires for the step light were not required. I taped and seal the ends of those wires, attached the control box ground wires one to the step and one to the frame then plugged in the two wiring harnesses as shown in the video. Bam my steps are operational again. Thanks E-trailer.
Great Purchase. Solid customer service. One call and they quickly diagnosed my problem after I explained the issue. Gave them my part number number and they recommended this part. Self-install and I'm not a mechanic. The Control Board for the electric steps fit into the existing holes. One extra wire I didn't know what to do with, so I just didn't hook it up. Steps work. Every time.
Product worked as expected however wiring for step light was a bit confusing and customer service only had a partial answer so I still dont know how to wire the light up
Product was just as described, easy to install and works great. This module is a real upgrade from the OEM module. The wiring was pretty much plug and play. A tip from a previous review explained the black wire goes to the step light and the purple wire did not apply to this installation. Great customer service!
Its been a few months since receiving the new controller. I finally got around to installing it. All seems to work well! Fixed old controller problems so far!

The step controller has been working great! No problems!
No instructions with this item. I had a light connected to the old one and didn’t know if I could connect it with the new module. The wiring harness was great! Matched up exactly with my original which is 15 years old. Customer service was great-Joseph in particular. etrailer has always been helpful ,knowledgeable, and quick to deliver. Thanks again etrailer!!
Ordered this while on the road. Great service from etrailer, Brian took order and shipped to my next location where it was waiting for me. New unit bolted and plugged right in, works perfectly. Old controller failed after 10 years exposure to wet roads covered with corrosive crud. New controller is fully potted in rubberized compound which completely seals electronic parts from the elements, rather than old style conformal coating, so new unit should be more reliable.
