Have you checked the
switch for the steps? If that switch is OFF while the steps are extended, and then the coach is started,
the steps will automatically retract. However, as soon as the engine/ignition is turned OFF and the door is opened,
the steps will remain retracted because the system is OFF.
My first suggestion is to check the step ON/OFF switch. Also, depending on the coach, the steps may be powered by the chassis or coach batteries, and if either of those disconnects are OFF, the steps will not retract.
There is also a
magnetic switch in the door jamb. When the door is opened, the switch closes and the steps retract/extend. If that switch is bad or out of alignment, the steps fail to operate properly. Something else to check.
