Thule Auto-Retract Safety Relay for Omni-Step 12v This relay fits to the Thule Omni-step 12v range and ensures that the steps are automatically folded up / retracted when the vehicle's engine starts. This can be a useful safety feature, in making it theoretically impossible to drive off with your Omni-step unfolded/extended should you ever forget to retract it using the switch supplied with the Omni-Step itself.
If you look closely you'll see that not only is the step damaged beyond repair, but so is the bodywork of their coachbuilt motorhome, and also the floor to which the step was mounted.
