It sounds like you may have mistakenly reversed the ignition and proximity switch wires when you extended the harness. Unfortunately, I don't have any schematic for your trailer but I do have them for the step your purchased, the Lippert Electric Tread Lite Step part # LC353542 and I have attached this for you. Try switching the wires on the trailer that go to the brown and yellow wires on the step.

If the above solution does not fix your issue then please just let me know and I would be glad to offer further assistance.
