Could also be a partially broken ground wire on the solenoid, or loose connection where it screws to the frame.

THAT'S IT !! 
Finally got around to working on the step today, I was getting ready to pull the box out from behind the step well, the one that the aux air pump is mounted to, when I noticed a wire going to a screw in the frame that went up to the step solenoid inside the box. It looked a little questionable so I wiggled it a little and sure enough it was loose. I removed the screw and cleaned the surface and ring terminal with contact cleaner and replaced the screw and added a lock washer.
Works as it should now.
Sometimes the most irratating issues (1-1/2 years) are simple fixes (about 15 min.) once you find the cause.
