I've asked a similar question before, but I'm going to rephrase. The
generator slide, step and step light switch are all not functioning in
my coach. It's likely the problem is a common one--lack of voltage?
Are all three on one fuse or circuit breaker? If so, where is it? If
not, can anyone suggest where the problem in voltage delivery may lie?

Kerry:
The breaker for those circuits is located in the right front load center.
That is the one next to the tv switch over compartment on the curb side.
You may simply have lost the ground to the switch. Check to be sure the
relay in the change over compartment by the steps in the entry way is
plugged in and the wiring is intact there too.

Thanks. I did pull out that relay and look at it, but didn't have my
multimeter out when I did. I'll check there, and the ground, and then
the load center. It's got to be a loose connection somewhere since it
began working when I was driving down the highway last week and cut
out again later.

I dont see the pressure sensing switch on mine. At least there are no
wires going to the step itself. Since none of the switches in the box
to the left of the steps are working, I'm going to start with the
assumption that it is a common problem. When the step started working
while going down the road, the footwell light started working at the
same time. I didn't check the generator switch to see if it was
working when the other two were. The two switches I see in the door
frame are high up on the right hand side. Just push buttons like a
refrigerator light switch.

Thanks for that crucial information. Turns out the nut on the stud to
which the wires for the step are attached in the load center was
missing, resulting in an intermittent connection. Put a nut on the
stud and the step worked fine. I'm parked too close to the adjacent
RV in the storage lot to test the generator slide, but I'm thinking
that problem is also most likely solved.
