You can get a tiny stone trapped in the step which will jam it, and sometimes not easily seen.

I had the same thing, does it still work on the switch. Mine would work on the switch but not on automatic when you start the engine. Had to replace the sensor. Mel.

If you look under neath the step on the forward facing side you will see a plate held on with one screw. Remove the plate and you will then see a switch, it is not uncomon for this to stick in. A spray with wd40 and a few prods is usually enough to free it.
As for the battery most MH with sargent electrics have a conector on the battery lead that is blanked off. Sargent sell a short loam that fits the conector with battery terminals for about £15, its as simple as that.

Alan Has your step stopped operating totally? Can you still operate it from the switch?

If this is the case you will find in the engine compartment to the rear and the middle of the engine a plastic box that contains the relays and fuses. Check these fuses and you should find one blown

Edit Some more experienced will come on and tell you about an extra battery which is straight forward to do
