pbustamante41 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I want to have my steps remain retracted when the engine is off and the door is opened. Is there a fuse I can pull or a setting on the switch that I am missing? 2007 Executive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinH Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I have a switch right inside the door. The step will stay out when the coach is not running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbustamante41 Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 Mine does as well which is not what I want. My previous coach provided the ability to keep the steps retracted allowing me to utilize a larger wooden platform and steps when parked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan K Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 We have a fuse for the step in bedroom 12v fuse box. But it also controls the handle and porch ligh and more. An other option I used is a magnet or magnetic tape ( like the magnetic business cards) taped over the magnetic switch in bottom side door frame. That way it simulates the door closed at all times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivylog Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 The step stops moving when the motor amps get to high...not going to hurt the steps hitting(stopping) against your platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbylinn52 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Set the step control switch to retract. Place a magnet on the door switch. The steps should stay retracted till you remove the magnet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amphi_sc Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 In my 07 (built in 06 Beaver), fuse is in the front run box and clearly labeled "step". My FRB is the many board version and not the multiplex version that was introduced a bit later. Your 07 Monaco may be same. I also somewhat recall a tricky procedure with the timing the position of the step switch and ignition switch and timing of turning ignition on/off and when to change the step switch position. It usually happens to us by accident when the switch is accidentally bumped and I stop for lunch or something where the coach is off before I ever thought about needing to go outside and I fall out the door as the steps didn't come out. 🤬 I've managed to do it once or twice on purpose, but I found it tricky and don't remember the exact sequence. So I retract the steps and pull the fuse when needed. FWIW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k7jv Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Just looked at our manual for the '06 Dynasty to see if there were steps you could take to do what "amphi_sc" described, but there was nothing. Rats. Sounds like something that would have been a good idea. BUT, it does say that the fuse for the step is in the REAR run box. I looked at my pictures, and yes, it is there. It is on board #4, in the stack of boards on the left side of the run box. The manual says it is labeled "STP IGN", but on our coach it is labeled "STEP". On ours, it is the bottom fuse and is a 20A fuse. I hope that helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willbo777 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 On our 2007 Nav which should be very close to your coach, it is in the rear run bay labeled step. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
