Oh dear, I do hope someone is reading this. Our 2014 Bounder steps are retracted and we are traveling thru Wyoming getting in and out of our motorhome with a little ladder.
They stopped working one day after my husband overrode them with the switch to make space for another vehicle in a gas station. Not sure if that is a coincidence or not. We read all the posts and we found the proper fuses, a 3 amp and a 20 amp in the same compartment (passenger,front) with the inverter. Both fuses were good but we replaced the 20 amp anyway. We bought the ladder.
Pulled out of campground this am and steps started working. The worked perfectly probably 20 times of in and out so far today. Just pulled into Walmart just no and opened door. No step. I?m thinking it?s a bad ground, since the motor works and the fuses are ok.
The ground that attaches to the frame right under the steps looks fine, but should we try to clean it? It seems to have already been painted to prevent corrosion around the connection. Is there another ground somewhere?
So far the two hints we have read are to hit the motor with something. BTW, my husband lubes the steps several times a year without fail.
I sure hope someone can help as it is not a pretty picture being a 72-year old woman carrying a ladder in and out of a motor home, especially with an ornery husband that made her chase him thruough walmart parking lot in Rawlins Wyoming carrying ladder.
