Electric Step Fuse Location - 2019 Midbath December 08, 2023, 03:00:59 pm The owner's manual lists the location of three fuses for the electric step in a 2019 Midbath. I understand two of them, but I'm unclear about this one:5 AMP MINI-FUSE - Located behind the electric step "ON/OFF" switch at the entry door cabinet. It is accessible through the backside of the cabinet.Does the mean that you have to remove one of wardrobe drawers to find it ?As always, thanks in advance for your help.

The switch covers are held on by a round tab on each side of the switch housing. I used a thin putty knife on the left side of the switches to disengage these tabs. The right side of the switches have a sticky goo that keeps the switch covers in place and from rattling around. Removing the four screws reveals the very short switch wires.Kendall 2 Likes

I also want to mention that when I pulled the switch panel away from the wall the top wire from one of the switches came off. LD used the standard quick disconnect crimp terminals for the switch connections. When I reinstalled it, the connection was fairly loose on the switch so I slightly crimped both sides of the connector to get a tight fit. I checked the other three connectors and they were tight. So if you are having issues with your electric step, porch light, or entry light this could be the source of the problem. Kendall
