Step Failure

[ditsjets7]

Hi all, So we left our previous destination in North Carolina early this morning and when I pulled the step and it works fine. It?s a quickie step. We just got to our next destination in Virginia and I went to put to step out and nothing happened. I can hear a clicking sound when I press the button but nothing is happening. Does anyone have any insight on this? Thank you in advance.

I did it the old fashion way, banged on it. All good

We started having that issue (where tapping on the motor would start things working) Problem kept recurring and I got sick of crawling underneath to tap the motor.  Bought a replacement motor kit off Amazon (Kwikee 379147 Motor Replacement Kit) for ~ $70.  Fixed it.
Here's the troubleshooting guide on the step system.

Have you lubricated your steps?

I lubricate mine about twice a year with spray on lithium grease.

Due to some responses I have seen on this forum, this person does not mean to lubricate the actual steps, as this may lead to slipping on the steps and possible serious injuries.  They are referring to the hinges and such on the assembly, and not the actual steps themselves.
