[face=Arial][/face][size=14][/size] We have a 2004 Patriot. The front entry step would not come out. The circuit breaker is working. Pursuant to the Owner's Manual, I located the magnetic switch on the inside bottom of the door frame. I bought a small magnet and ran it across the switch and sure enough, the step came out. When I removed the magnet, the step went in. If I turned off the step switch above, I couldn't get the step to move in or out, even with the magnet. If I turn the top switch on and ran the magnet across the bottom magnetic switch I could get the step out. I can then turn off the upper switch and the step will stay out. If I then turn on the engine, the step will not come in, as it is supposed to do.
The owner's manuel infers that I can reset the polarity of this magnetic switch by using a magnet. I can't figure out how to permanently reset this switch so it operates correctly when I open or close the door or start the engine. Do you have any ideas? Charles Bentley
