Powered entry steps

Hello all,

The MH was parked since a couple of weeks and the powered entry steps were in the down position so as not to have them going in and out every time I go in or out.
Started the vehicle yesterday and the powered entry steps did not retract as they should.
I checked the fuses in the house part and all seem to be fine.
My question is this!!!
Are the powered entry steps connected to the house fuses or to another fuse box in the motor or driver section?

I would check your ground wire under steps, be careful green wire. Make sure good contact.

Why waste time looking for fuses until AFTER you verified no voltage to the steps?

Exactly what happened to mine...plus, shoot some type of spray oil around the joints...PAM will work if you have nothing else. I drove it for a day being careful about bumps, etc. When I got to the campground there was a herd of blue hairs following me to the site screaming.
