For a while I thought this yellow strip was a light that was dead over the entrance step. I crawled under the girl and found that one of the leads had pulled loose from the crimp connector. I put a jumper on the wires expecting to see the strip light up. To my surprise the strip seems to be a pressure sensitive switch that is linked into the step controls. I imagine it has not worked for a while but I have only owned the coach for less that a year. The strip mounts in a aluminum channel above the leading edge of the step. When I press on the strip the step extends the step when the door is closed.
I know these girls had some fancy electrical circuits, but I cannot find anything in the owners black box that gives me a hint how this is supposed to work. Any ideas would be helpful Chip

It's designed to prevent the step from retracting if your foot is inserted between the step and chassis. Mine still works after 35 yrs. You might not think you need it, but you'll be thankful when it does it's job!

Okay,
I must admit that my first inclination was that it was a strip light. The double stick tape let go and I just tucked it under the step hardware. Now after hearing that it is a safety device. I will surely reconnect it and make sure it works as an interlock for the step. My first inclination was to chuck it out but I figured Bluebird engineers are way smarter than me. Thanks for the replies. Chip

You might find it was disconnected for a reason. They can interfere with the step's proper operation.
