Thanks.I’ve not done this, but it’s not too complicated to add a switch to the power wire that feeds the step controller. You would be enabling and disabling the entire step controller with a switch. 2 wires and a switch.
Thank you.I don’t know about the Georgetown specifically, but most coaches don’t have a switch to prevent the step from extending when the door is opened. Our coach (and, I suspect, others as well) has a switch to prevent the step from retracting when the door is closed, however.
I think the reason for no switch to prevent the step from extending is one of liability with the manufacturers fearing that someone will forget the step is retracted and fall because the step is not there.

Thank you!If you have a Kwikee Step
Check here for a very informative video: Kwikee Step diagnostics video
There is a four wire loom that feeds the steps.
White is to the step lock-out switch,
Yellow is to the ignition lock-out switch,
Brown is to the door switch.
Red supplies 12 volts DC to the controller. It is this wire (red) that you would cut and provide a switch for enabling and disabling the power to the step controller.
