AMP Powerstep and possible remote operation if I can find a reverse ground signal

[BigKevSeattle]

So BigKev, it's been a year since you did the dome light mod. How's it working? Have you come to love the sound of the buzz of the relay switch and how it's like a little 2 second warning to the steps being retracted?

Hey Bro! How's it going? Actually that buzz went away after a few months- steps are still working great! Saw your post about the steps in muddy wheeling- I just turn mine off by rotating the switch all the way to the back, turning off the dome lights. Easy squeezy! Hope all is well with you.

The buzz went away? That's crazy. The buzz is caused by the dome lights having the voltage reduced to create a dimming affect when turning off. Maybe you have a relay switch that has a magnet that is just not as sensitive to this. Maybe my relay switch was too cheap! (ha!)

Ah yes, of course, if you are running strictly off the dome lights and can already control it, then my little solution would not be needed. I have wired back to the door signaling when the top/doors are on and I'll switch back to the dome lights when the doors come off.

I needed a solution because our Jeep family grew. My daughter saved up enough money for her first Jeep and now she wants to go Jeeping all the time!

Very sweet, and my son wants a Jeep for his first vehicle as well (in about 2 years)!

Sadly... her Jeep is 1" taller than mine (we both have 37" tires) and she reminds me of this EVERY day. Hmm, might be time to try out some new Metalcloak dual rate 4.5" springs I've been eyeing ;-)
