The usual problem -
Running Board won't retract.
Its great to have motorised running boards, but they do
have their problems.
Firstly, those swivel brackets are in a harsh environment and the
bearings can become stiff and start to seize.
Secondly, the motor too is in a harsh environment, and can start to
lose its pulling power after a few years of battering by the
elements.
The usual scenario is that the running board wont retract when it
should, but if you help it along with your foot, it does.
This can be a symptom of a fault in either the bracket bearings or
the motor, so we suggest you liberally spray those bearings with
penetrating lubricant, and allow it to work its way well in.
If that doesn't do the trick, you need to strip down the board and
check out the bearings on the bench.
The bearings are only nylon coated steel, so they wont last forever.
If they're OK, you'll need a new motor.
Whether its bearings or motors that you need - choose from the model
list.
For how to dismantle the boards, and remove the motor from the
bracket, see our Teardown page.
