Troubleshooting a Kwikee Step Override Switch Not Working After Installing a Motor Upgrade Kit  

Updated 08/09/2023 | Published 08/08/2023

Question:

Our Kwikee steps quit working and we had to install a step upgrade kit #379145. Since then the steps come down when the door opens and goes up when the door is closed. We have a switch over the windshield that is used to override the step when parked in a campground the steps stays in the down position. However, that is not working now. The steps will not stay in the down position. Again, if the door opens the steps come down and if shut the step closes. Advise??

Expert Reply:

While not ideal, the issue is likely coming from the fact that the Motor Upgrade Kit for Kwikee Electric RV Steps # LC379145 includes a switch kit that overrides the step. Having your original switch and the switch kit included int he upgrade kit s probably causing the issues.

The easiest way would be to use the switch kit that comes with the upgrade kit, which gets installed near the door/door frame. That would make the switch by the windshield a dummy switch.
