If your older Kwikee electric entry step is stuck out, stuck in, or not responding to the door, this is the control unit that puts it right. The 379606 kit is the factory-correct replacement for pre-IMGL and pre-9510 step systems built approximately 1999-2005, and it ships with everything needed to restore full automatic door-triggered operation -- control unit, motor/gearbox/linkage assembly, and the 4-way Packard connector.
Kwikee electric entry steps from the early 2000s remain common on Class A, Class C, and fifth-wheel coaches, but the control modules that run them are no longer serviced under the current IMGL platform. The 379606 kit bridges that gap -- it is a direct, plug-in replacement for the original control module used on the 9514, 9515, 9516, 9517, 9517, 9613, and 9616 step series, and it is designed to work with the normally-closed magnetic door switches (part numbers 5323 and 5327) already installed on most of these coaches.
Unlike generic aftermarket substitutes, this is a genuine Kwikee/Lippert unit built to the same electrical specification as the original. The 12 AWG green wire and 16 AWG purple wire match the factory harness colors, making it straightforward to reconnect without a wiring diagram.
Engineered specifically for normally-closed magnetic door switches 5323 and 5327 -- no relay adaptation or wiring workaround needed.
Includes the control unit, motor/gearbox/linkage for A, B, and C assembly positions, a 4-way Packard-style connector, and mounting hardware -- one box, one install.
Drops in for the original control board on step series 9513, 9514, 9515, 9516, 9517, 9613, and 9616 without cutting or splicing the existing harness.
Genuine Kwikee quality built domestically. Backed by a limited 1-year manufacturer warranty.
This control unit kit directly replaces the original module in the following Kwikee step series:
These steps were installed on a wide range of Class A motorhomes, Class C motorhomes, and large fifth-wheels produced by many manufacturers during the approximate 1999-2005 production window. If your coach has a Kwikee step that predates the IMGL or 9510 platform and uses the magnetic 5323/5327 door switch pair, this kit is the appropriate replacement.
The 379606 control unit uses a color-coded wiring scheme that matches the original factory harness on pre-IMGL systems. Wire gauges are heavier than some aftermarket alternatives, which reduces voltage drop to the motor under load.
Installation is a control-module swap combined with motor/gearbox/linkage replacement. The kit includes all three mechanical subassemblies (A, B, and C positions) along with the 4-way Packard connector and mounting hardware, so no fabrication is required. Typical steps:
