Today we're going to be taking a look at the Replacement Control Module for an Electric Coach Step. This replaces the control module that came standard on your single, double, or triple electric Lippert Coach Step, or Stromberg Carlson Sliding Step. This unit simply houses the circuits and electrical components necessary for the step to function properly. It's going to include the weatherproof wiring and connectors. It installs underneath the base of your step with four self-tapping screws. The screws are not included, but when you're ready to install this, you'll remove the self-tapping screws holding the ground wires on your previous module. Then you'll need to disconnect the four pin connector to the motor wiring harness, that will look just like this one.
Disconnect the two pin connector to the motor, it's going to look just like this one. Remove the self-tapping screws holding your module in place, and simply install the new module in reverse order. A few measurements to go over with you real quick and then we're going to go over a few of the wire functions. Edge to edge going this direction, it's going to give us a measurement of 5 13/16". Going this direction, just measuring the box portion, that's going to be 4 1/8". The holes are separated on center going this direction by 3 1/8", and the hole separation on center in this direction, is going to be 5.25". Really nice design.
Again, you're going to have your four pin connector, goes to the motor wiring harness. Two pin connector that goes directly to the motor and then your black wire right here, this is going to be the wire that gets connected for the step light. You're going to have two green wires, these are both ground wires. One grounds the chassis, the other one grounds to the steps. Then your purple wire, located right here, this is going to be for the step light switch.
That's going to do it for today's look at the Replacement Control Module for an Electric Coach Step. Again, this replaces the control module that came standard on your single, double, or triple electric Lippert Coach Step or Stromberg Carlson Sliding Step.

This replacement control module is the brain that enables your single, double, or triple electric Lippert Coach Step or Stromberg Carlson sliding step to function properly. It attaches underneath the step's base with 4 screws (not included).My 2006 Monaco Diplomat steps stopped retracting and extending completely and reading on etrailer website found others with same problem. Called etrailer to order the correct step module and received it quickly. The module item number was LC301702 and it matched all the plugins and wires except there was a purple wire that was not necessary for my unit which I capped off. Thanks for the help!
Excellent control module. Everything worked when the steps were mounted and plugged in. Very happy with your service. I was able to track my package across the US and Canada. Arrived on time that was stated.
My steps wouldn’t function so after confirming the controller was bad I searched for the best deal available. Etrailer had the best deal anywhere and shipped it for free in a short time.
I was very pleased with the entire transaction!
the product was shipped and received at my temporary RV location very rapidly. it worked when i installed it since i was armed with some slight installation tips from product reviews. well done! i always like dealing with etrailer.com cheers. Gene from the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally...
What can I say!! As always etrailer comes through with flying colors. Right part, quick service, great install videos

An exact replacement for our coach. Worked like a charm!
The new replacement module was perfect. Installation was a breeze and now I realize that my old control module was creating more problems that I knew about. Highly recommend this product.
I ordered it at one in the afternoon and paid for overnight shipping it was in up state New York at eleven am the next morning great service and the part was exactly what I needed
Its been a few months since receiving the new controller. I finally got around to installing it. All seems to work well! Fixed old controller problems so far!
No instructions with this item. I had a light connected to the old one and didn’t know if I could connect it with the new module. The wiring harness was great! Matched up exactly with my original which is 15 years old. Customer service was great-Joseph in particular. etrailer has always been helpful ,knowledgeable, and quick to deliver. Thanks again etrailer!!
Product is RV step controller, and was an exact replacement for old device. Fit perfectly, and works as it should. Be careful of motor plug orientation--if wrong, device opens/closes door opposite correct way. Price was good.
Gene - 02/11/2020The control module for the electric step on our RV stopped working because it became corroded from sprayed sand and water. The new unit is much better designed and fully insulated against a repeat of the problem. It works very well and was delivered as promised. I am pleased with the service.
Don S - 08/01/2018Product arrived well packaged and sealed in plastic. The unit is an original Lippert component. It was free from defects and functioned properly upon installation. The inclusion of a wiring diagram would've made installation he's here and able to proceed with confidence. It's absence however is not that limiting in that the connections are somewhat intuitive. The etrailer ordering process was easy and they shipped my unit without delay. A quality product from a quality company. Tip: when trouble shooting a motorized RV step, don't forget to check the integrity of the magnetic door switch.
Excellent service from etrailer. Did not receive any directions with this product but contacted your help line. FYI if switching from an older SCS/Frigette step control with 9 wires to the newer 10 wire model. Connect the black bare end wire to steplight. Purple wire with bare end does not have any application on my motorhome so just capped it off. Would definitely order again from etrailer.
Ordered this while on the road. Great service from etrailer, Brian took order and shipped to my next location where it was waiting for me. New unit bolted and plugged right in, works perfectly. Old controller failed after 10 years exposure to wet roads covered with corrosive crud. New controller is fully potted in rubberized compound which completely seals electronic parts from the elements, rather than old style conformal coating, so new unit should be more reliable.
Yes the part did not work, had to cut something on it to make it fit still don’t work
Sierra K - 10/28/2021I have a 2005 Newmar Dutch Star and the step started acting up last year. Sometimes it would not close or open when it should. Then all of a sudden it would operate. I ordered this part. It was an exact replacement, just looked sealed better than the factory one. It had a few ground wires, 2 connectors and a black wire I connected to the step light. I did not use the purple wire I tightened everything up with a few wire ties, cleaned up all of the ground connections. And finally I added some dry lube to all the moving parts of the step and pivot points.
I closed the door and it was like new. Cycled the door and few times and it worked perfectly. My step was manufactured by Coach Step Inc. Part Number 725-0022 Step Assy.
If you are having step issues I highly recommend this item. Easy to install and works great!
I have a 2006 DutchStar. This product was as close to an exact replacement as you can get. The customer service from etrailer was awesome as they checked with Lippert mfg before I order just to make sure it would work and even sent me a pdf of the wiring diagram so I could figure out the install. I was on the road and staying at a KOA, shipping was fast and the box was well enough marked that there was no problem getting it when it arrived.
Richard H - 04/26/2019Very happy
current step no longer operated when opening and closing door, replaced with sp -164889 electrical box , part arrived quickly and within 30 minutes had this installed and steps working like new . great service
Randy c - 02/20/2018Very pleased with staff and service at etrailer! They were helpful in determining the proper product. Received the part very quickly and installed it. But....then realized it was not compatible with the door magnets; however, was able to get the right magnets and send out immediately. Very pleased that the problem was rectified so quickly.
Len P - 06/07/2018Exact replacement for my coach steps which is a good thing and cheaper than buying new Kwikee steps.
Installed product and it worked flawlessly. Video was very informative.
My experience was great. I called and the correct product was sent to me promptly and it is installed and it works fine. I am a happy camper.
