Strange dashboard warning lights and Kwikee Step

[Tony65]

Hi! Some days I get a strange thing.

With the vehicle stationary and the ignition key removed, all dashboard warning lights come on when the access step extends or retracts.

Other times it happens that after the step is closed the warning lights come on one at a time and continue to do so if I don't insert the key, turn on the ignition and turn off again.

I was thinking of a false contact on the ignition lock but I have seen that the problem recurs too often.

I'm taking a look at the electrical diagrams to understand where the problem might be but still haven't found anything.

Has this happened to any of you?

The tie in , between the Kwikee steps and the ignition switch and dash warning lights , would be the ignition on , retract steps signal wire to the Kwikee controller .

I'm thinking internal back feed from the Kwikee control module , but kind of at a loss as to how to check things out.

Perhaps the first thing to do would be to locate and remove the ignition feed fuse ; from the controller wiring; to see if the issue continues.

Don't know if you have these PDFs for wiring test.

I'll do a check. Meanwhile, thanks for the reply.

I pulled out the ignition lock, sprayed some WD40 and cleaned the seat.

For now, the problem has not returned.

We hope everything goes well.

In the meantime, I took advantage of the checks on the electrical system to replace the electric actuator of the entrance door.

Unfortunately, the original spare part is now unavailable and I had to spend a couple of hours to adapt a universal actuator for cars.

The original seemed much more robust than the replacement, unfortunately we have to settle for it.

For now, the electronic lock has started working perfectly again, even with the remote control.

Thanks for your advice.
