If you were to install the Lippert Components Kwikee 25 Series Triple Electric Step part # LC3658373 using only an on/off switch then you could wire this directly to the battery using the attached diagram. The control unit would not be used for this process so you don't have to worry about the yellow ignition wire or any of the wires for the door magnet. If you still need help after viewing the attached diagram then please just let me know.
