Summerizing repairs

As part of my Summerizing process, had to repair the Kwikee step - bad control unit. This control unit is no longer made, and the replacement control is almost as pricey as the entire control/motor/gearbox repair kit, so I installed the kit.
Not a hard install, kit has wiring and hardware included, only the magnetic switch was picky because the original magnetic switch wiring was jammed between a trim piece and the door frame. There was already a hole drilled in the frame where the original installer should have run the wires, but his way was easier. My way is safer.
So, steps work as promised, and with a little wire brushing and paint, all is good. On to the next thing.

$286 @ Amazon. This kit worked for me, you may need something different.
