• Steps Open When Door is Closed on Kwikee Series 40 Electric RV Steps
• It could be that you got the incorrect control board or it was installed incorrectly but my guess is a problem with the door switch. The correct control board just to confirm is the Replacement Control Unit for Kwikee Electric RV Steps part # LC379146. I have attached for you below a list of the door switches. If you can send me a photo of yours, I'd be glad to match this up with a replacement but these aren't specific to the step so there would be no way for us to know what you have exactly....

• Yes, going to a new lock/latch for your RV entry door like the part # 295-000019 will be a great solution. Your latch does sound like it's worn out or possibly damaged which is making it hard to use but this replacement will be easy to use and won't require constant lubrication.

• Can I Just Use 1 Latch to Secure MORryde StepAbove RV Steps Inside Camper
• The MORryde StepAbove RV Steps, like part # MR58RR, actually have an adjustment you can make on the latch that I recommend looking at before you start cutting into anything (see attached). If you aren't able to adjust the latch so that you can properly close your screen door I recommend modifying the door as opposed to removing the latch as the steps are designed to use both right and left latches to secure the stairs during travel.

• Troubleshooting Kwikee Power Step of RV that Opens When Driving in Rain
• The water is creating a short for the door switch of the Kwikee 32 Series Electric RV Steps # LC372261 which is basically telling the module that the door is open when it's not. Either there's exposed wire between the door switch circuit which the water is creating a short or the module is allowing water to seep in and create the short there. The step light switch wiring should be purple and black. You might check to see if there's any exposed wiring you could potentially seal up better....

• How To Fill Holes In an RV For Screws Which No Longer Fit Inside Enlarged Mounting Holes
• To fill a hole on an RV will vary depending on how the RV is constructed. Fiberglass sided campers with laminate walls are the most common found on RV's. These walls will have a steel plate mounted inside the wall to provide mounting points for items like a cargo door holder. If you are unable to use a larger diameter mounting screw you will need to fill the holes with Silicone # 0160297 and move the door holder. If you have a camper with aluminum siding it will typically have wood studs...

• Troubleshooting A Malfunctioning Kwikee RV Step Switch
• I spoke with my contact at Lippert and if you have Kwikee 32 Series steps like the # LC372261 that you linked to then this issue is being caused by the magnet switch you purchased # LC301694. For the 32 Series you would actually need the Replacement Magnetic Door Sensor for Kwikee Electric RV Steps - Rectangle - Black # LC369299. Some switches are wired to be normally open or normally closed so mixing and matching parts can cause communication errors between the components.

• Kwikee RV Steps Are Operating In Reverse When The Step Switch Is On
• It sounds like you have some wires flipped on Kwikee RV steps. I have attached an image I recommend you double check to ensure that your wiring is correct, as that may be the issue. Additionally, it has been reported that the motor orientation could also be causing the opposite affect you're experiencing. What you'll want to do is ensure that the armature on the motor goes through a brush assembly, into the motor case which contains two permanent magnets. If this is turned 180°, this...

• Troubleshooting Lippert Powered RV Steps That Extend Then Stop
• If you have confirmed that the motor in your Lippert or Stromberg Carlson powered RV steps is good and that there are no mechanical issues with the step linkage (that could be causing the step to sometimes stop before extending completely), then the most likely causes for the issue are a bad wiring connection (that allows for intermittent contact), a problem in the control module or a bad door switch. You can try bypassing the door switch to see if that allows the steps to extend fully....
