Hi,
I have been redoing my RV. I stripped the flooring and interior out to repair water damage. The roof is done .
I took out the kitchen seating area for repairs. I disconnected the 4 switches that were on the side going down the stairs.
Does anyone have the wiring diagram for those 4 switches. I somehow lost my notes on that.

Or could someone unscrew the switch plate and take a picture of it.

I have a 2010 challenger, do you still need this?

Yes please.
I have figured out 3 of the switches. The fourth I know is for shutting down the power to the power step so it doesn't go in and out when you are parked.

Not sure if this will help, but it is the electrical diagram. I can never seem to get mine to act right. 95% of the time my steps are out after I park it. My RV is offsite, so I could pull the panel if needed and take a few pics.

Thank you. This is the setup that I have. My problem is the 3 wires left that actually switch off the steps so they don't keep extending in and out every time you open the door.
Do you know what the ess,esi and esp mean. That's probably what I'm missing.

ESS- Electronic Step Switch?
ESP - Elec Step power?
ESI - Elec Step Interface?

My step switch never seem to act right. I don't know if you have to activate it prior to shutting off the engine or what. My steps work fine as far as the door switch goes, but when I go to store it they are out 98% of the time. I has not bothered me enough to go and double check the switches...

I attached another step diagram if it helps. I have note been out to my rv yet.

Thank you I will go back to the RV and take some more voltage readings. I do think that my gears are stripped on the steps

I am actually putting together a video of my step motor replacement. I am in the process of moving so, it is on the back burner. I attached a photo of my gears when mine went bad. 2 of the 3 white soft plastic parts spun out of their area and jammed up the main area and broke the main blue plastic gear. It was a pretty easy swap. Just the gears was ~26 bucks, a new assembly was like $45. I replaced everything. I just had to splice the connector. Got mine at autozone the part number is 83694. It is from a 90s Ford taurus window. Mine are lippert stairs.

Thanks everyone for the good info.
I have a Kwikee single step and now I know I will have to replace some gears.
Also From the info I received, I think I will be able to follow the last three wires that were giving me trouble. I am traveling at the moment but will update when I return and am able to get to the RV.
