Problem The door stairs on a 2024 Dutchstar do not extend with door opening

[Joe Dutchstar]

This is an interesting issue. The door stairs do not operate when the door is unlocked with combination but will work normally when door is unlocked with remote?

Thoughts?

When unlocked via combo do the stairs extend when door is opened?

I didn't realize Trimark has anything to do with the steps. Obviously I don't know the architecture of all Newmar coaches. Are you sure this isn't just a coincidence? Troubleshoot why steps don't open first and that could help resolve it. Typically issues are the contacts on the lower inside door frame may be dirty preventing a bad connection. I don't know your step brand but Kwikee steps are known for bad grounds or controllers.

I agree, the trimark is not part of the sequence.

The contractors on the door open the relay that triggers steps.

Things to check:
1) faulty switch above driver
2) faulty relay
3) dirty contractors. Clean with wire brush and lube if they don’t spring out quickly
4) loose ground at step motor
5) faulty step motor. Intermittent


You can open and close door to cycle test for repeatability without using the lock.
