You're correct in that the issue could be with either. That said, it's most likely a grounding issue with the steps as they take the most beating being outside in the weather. Also, it's the easiest fix as you don't have to be a contortionist to access them. Realistically, I'd take another wire and ground the steps ensuring a good ground. If the issue is resolved, then I'd do a permanent fix. If not, then I'd explore the light switch also..could be either, but my money is on the steps....Dennis

Could the problem be a defective headlight switch?

On my Monaco it was labeled "Steps on-off" and it does exactly what you described. ON mine as soon as you started the engine the steps would retract regardless of the switch position.
As I understand it the steps are suppose to retract when engine is started (regardless of switch position) - think it's a safety measure.
