Kwikee has a nice troubleshooting guide on their web site, once you perform the simple steps you will know if it is a door magnet, a motor or the control board. Mine was a control board issue, mine are 28 years old and motor is still good. Straightened bent linkages, reglued magnet, and cleaned grounds over the years to keep them in working.

You've had much better luck with step motors than I have.
My last coach, a 2012 Georgetown, I owned 9 years. During that 9 years, the step motor quit and I replaced it, twice.
My current coach, a 2021 Newmar (see signature), at just 2 years old, the step motor just went out, replaced it the other day.
Now, I carry a spare motor with me for the steps. Of course, now that I have a spare motor for the steps, it'll be something else that breaks next time, haha.

They all run both directions, window up, window down , step out. Step in,
If its trying yo go the wrong direction , just swap the motor leads,
I haven't studied car window motors enough to know if there is a difference in attached gear boxes , from left and right side doors , so only one side is angled correctly for the steps
I can explain it to you.
But I Can Not understand it for you !
