So after everyone post about waxing there motor homes, I decided to pull mine out and wash it first, open door steps came out and went to pull out of garage and steps were stuck down, crap I just replaced the motor and gear plate bolt last year, after going through all the troubleshooting I ended up replacing the controller, then steps only retracted when engine was running, switch on or off didn’t matter, tracked all the wiring for magnetic switch which was working as it should, ended up being the switch inside the door, was bad as well as both fuses were blown, step motor and step switch, found exact replacement switches through west marine switch was a v4d1 so 240.00 later steps work again, on a side note after I did away with the trombetta solenoid and replaced it with a larger amp rated one 6 months ago that all still work great, went through 3 of the trombetta ones in short time.
Never did get the rig washed or waxed yet.
 
Same thing happened except more and I have not found fuses for step yet
My 3601 2017 Thor aria fire fly no power on entry pad , bathroom pad, living pad, end up pulling them off the wall and replacing battery 2032 all good
Now where’s battery or reset for controls on jacks and steps and power shade and gen start on dash?

The fuses for mine on a Thor Tuscany were in the chassis fuse box, left side above the hydraulic leveling pump.
