Entry step

the air actuated entry step won't operate , stuck in open position. air is at the solenoid's regulated to 50psi. must be missing the electrical signal? I cant see any sort of switch on the door jam, is it magnetic? '02 U320

My switch is attached to the screen door, hinge side, @ 6" above main floor level.

Really, I'm looking for a plunger type switch attached to the screen door? I just have nothing there. Just two wires passing from sill to door for the locking function.

You need to tell what year and model you have. My '99 uses a magnetic switch. If yours is like mine the magnet may have come off the screen door. The wire end of the switch is attached to the door jam on the dash side.

I have a 1995 U320C SE and the step doesn't go up. Would it have a magnetic switch on the door?
If so where would I get a new one?
Thanks

1. Would it have a magnetic switch on the door?
2. where would I get a new one?

1. Yes
2. Last one I knocked off I got a replacement from Allied Electronics as that is a supplier that I have worked with for years. You can find them on eBay or just the net. Those are not anything special to Foretravel. Others here may have a link to one.
