There is a sensor on your screen door that is there to trigger the steps to open so you do not fall out the door. There maybe a loose wire or it may have come off it's mounting. The step motor should have a fuse you can pull so it will stay in until you can get it fixed. However, be careful when you stop and try to exit the MH the steps will not come out.

My steps came out while traveling (unbeknownst to me), so I pulled over to park; steps hit curb, here are results:


Would not retract, even with a crowbar. Removed steps on the spot:



Drove to repair shop & ordered new steps. Damaged beyond repair. Faulty sensor switch, as stated above. Repair shop installed new steps. $$$$.
