I was wondering what happens if your electric step stops working when it's in the out position? Can they be pushed in manually? I like to know my options ahead of time.
Wasn't able to push them in manually on my Class A. A few easy things you can try.. hold a (separate) magenet to the part on the door and see if that will kick the steps in... there is a way to get them in from underneath, but have to make sure the step switch if OFF or if it works and the switch is on, you will have a mangled hand. Check out Class A section and research electric steps.
You should find lots of posts there. (Carry a step stool!)
1. To manually retract the steps, the steps need to be partially or fully extended to expose the drive linkage.
2. Unplug the four way connector from the Control Unit
3. Remove the cotter pin from the clevis pin at the linkage assembly.
4. Remove the clevis pin from the case "U" block in the end of the linkage assembly. NOTE the direction the clevis pin goes into the cast block. If the step is in its locked position, the pin may have to be pried or driven out of the block.
Once the clevis pin is removed, the step treads should now swing freely. If they do not, check for a bent step frame or a jammed pivot point.
