The step has been getting progressively lazy, not fully opening out and not fully retracting but sometimes working OK. On starting the engine it usually now takes the first start up and the step alarm won't go off then switch off and start again and the alarm goes off and the step is withdrawn.
Given everything a good soak in WD40 but step mechanism is all free and easy.
Electrics are complex as step works from alarm and start keyfob, engine start safety switch, push button switch by door etc.
Fuse in Fiat cab to Serjeant control box is fine and is as required 20 amp fuse.
No sure what to do next and don't know the run of the electrics or where the relays are.
Does anyone know? Perhaps behind the bottom fridge grill but not looked yet as that is where the motor wires seem to go. Can anyone advise or point me as to what to check next?
Off hookup at Pampelonne in France at present, no emergency, just a PIA! Probably go and find a box or buy a step if it packs up completely.
