What it sounds like happened is the brake solenoid on your steps stopped working correctly. There is a manual lever on the motor that can get flipped off which will then allow your steps # LC353542 to not stay extended.

I have attached a photo of the lever you're going to need to check showing both the "ON" and "OFF" position for you to see.

If it is in the "ON" position then you just have a bad solenoid and will need to replace it.

For the light, if after switching your solenoid out does not fix it, you may need to contact Lippert to see if there is a replacement they can send you as we do not carry it.
