Diconnecting The Power For The Electric Step ?

[Kool Kroozer]

Anyone know how i can disconnect the power (which is permanently live) for the electric step ? I am thinking of moving the switch an extra 18" inches away from where its positioned now to a more suitable location (at present we have to open the side sliding door -PVC- more or less all the way to be able to get to the steps switch) Its just a case of extending the wiring - without getting electrocuted Spinney Motorhomes have just informed me that the fuse for the step is on the main board - but its not, i have looked amongst all the fuses and none state they are for the step, i have pulled out fuses for Leisure Battery and Engine Battery and the bloody thing still works

I dont know your van but on mine its a split charge relay thing next to the engine battery and it also controls the fridge try that my friend.

easiest thing is to pop the switch out and remove the wires job done be sure to keep them from touching.

would i not get a shock off them when i try to add more cable to the existing wires so i can extend the switch ?

No, it's 12 volt. Just keep the wires away from one another and any surrounding metalwork.

you will not feel 12v unless you put your tongue across the two wires.
