2001 LXi Entry Step

RE: 2001 LXi Entry Step
While I understand why you might think it is an electrical issue, it could very well be pneumatic. When my step did that earlier this year, it turned out to be the air powered Clippard valve that pushes the step in and out. After only 20 years it had lost seal pressure, so one day it went out and stayed out. Years of condensation in the air lines finally took its toll on the Clippard valve and the air relay valve that controls the Clippard. Replaced them all and everything works as new now. BTW, the Clippard valve is not rebuildable and they are made to order, so don’t expect a quick delivery off the shelf. The air relay requires a substitute aftermarket part, plus new air mufflers. If you need part numbers and suppliers I have them all in my maintenance log.

FWIW,
