Step Cover Inoperative

I recently took my 2004 Dynasty out for a quick trip just to get everything up to operating temperature and to assure all things work as they should. The step cover would not close. We kept trying and noticed no attempt to closing. Any suggestions as to where to start looking for the problem. I think the step is air activated.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

If a schematic would help, here is one that may be applicable. It shows both the air and the electrical control schematics. The date on the drawing is September 2004, and it applies to the step covers on the Dynasty series, and others.

It says it is in a box under the step cover. I have never looked for it, and I have never seen it, so it is pretty well hidden.

Good luck!

Thanks Jim for the schematics. After studying them, I was reminded of the drivers side switch. After getting the air up, I started working switches and the step started working. Maybe the drivers side switch had been bumped causing the failure. Anyway it works as it should and the wife is happy.

Thanks again for both of the replies.

I hardly ever use the switch for the step cover but my wife uses hers all the time. The times that I do try to use mine it seems like it doesn't make contact and I have to flip several time so I suspect it is from none use.
