Help! Bus door stuck open

We were done working on the bus for the morning and bus the air door won’t close. It seems like it’s jammed on something. Anyone know what to do???

Can you open and close it manually?


How about pneumatically?

I can open it but when I try to push it closed it stops with about 4 inches to go. Itches to be jammed on something

Did you flip the switch to manual? I forget to do that a lot.

Interestingly enough....it ended up that the stair runner had shifted and stopped the door from closing. Go figure

Excellent ... mischief managed!


I have a set of steps I set outside out bus and in some locaions (like our sriveway) the top step *sometimes* hangs up the bottom of the door. The first time it did that I thought "Well darn, one more thing to fix!"
