Well I has been a bit more than a week. The stairs are electriclly driven by a small motor that drives a screw jack pusing the mechanism in and out. I removed the cover from the mechanism, 12 wood screws, 4 on each side and 4 more on two brackets near the back. If the cover is stuck in the in position this might be difficult, I just yanked on the cover and it released from the mechanism, more on this later. I replaced the fuse and tried the switch again only to blow the fuse. I manually turned the screw jack and it moved but without a reference did know it it was too hard or not but it did move smoothly. Next I removed the mechanism by removing the two screws by the top of the stairs, extended the Generator out and removed the one screw located about center of the coach, and traced back the wire bundle to the front left electrical panle compartment. I disconnected the wire bundle and tried the switchs again and the fuse held. I pulled the mechanism out, it is a tight fit but with the passenger chair moved back slightly it is not a problem. I then tested the motor with a 25 amp Fuse and blew that and a 30 amp. Ordered a new motor, $120, it arrived without the connector so I just spliced the connector and heat shrunk the connector to seal it. When I yaked the cover, the sepration accord at a point where two (left and Right side) pins fit into a plastic bushing. I think it was engineered this way to allow the cover to be manually extend as I did, but who knows. I simple spread the mechanism to reinstall the pins into the plastic bushings. The cover now operates just fine.
