Title: flip up door step
Post by: bvectra on October 16, 2020, 01:12:21 pm
need help with wiring, can not seem to find how the step solenoid is wired. Do not find in my u270 prints. Does anyone have a copy of their print showing this circuit. I want to be able to have step closed when not at coach.  please!!

Sorry I don't have the wiring diagram but it will be in the search archives, but when you lose air pressure the step will come down.

Just use the air regulator to adjust the air pressure to zero and then push the step closed.  To open it pull it down or put air pressure back to original psi (60 psi???).

I went out the coach this afternoon to see if I could take a picture of how I wired mine but it wouldn't of helped. Someone in the
forum put out a drawing of how to do it and I followed it. When the air drains down the step opens and jbeem remined me  that
with no air it can be pushed up by hand.

I don't know if this is applicable or not. Worth a look.
