A few other outside chances of helping:
1) I had some successful step cycles, by pulling the fuse to the steps (On our coach, in the fuse box in the basement cabinet below the driver seat.). This sort of 'rebooted' the controller.
2) I also had some luck, having the wife open the door and pushing the control switch inside the door jamb on/off a few times, as I carefully reached in from the front of the coach, and tapped the electric window motor that runs the steps in/out. (Do be careful doing this, and be sure you and whoever is helping you with the door jamb button - are clear of moving steps and gears:)!).
I end up also replacing our motor. Which took care of it. If you go that route, hang onto your gear from the existing motor, as I ended up having to swap the old gear with the shallower gear that came on the replacement motor.
It's a great time to do heavy cleaning maintenance too. I used brake cleaner at first, sprayed liberally on all moving pieces. Then repeated a few times, and hit a few areas with a metal brush. Once that was done, I use dri lube spray on the moving pieces, and gears. I find dri lube does not attract and hold dirt and dust, like spray greases or silicone will.
Type 42, is the kind of steps in our era Allure.
Best of luck to you,
