The power running board motor powers the automatic steps on certain trucks and SUVs. And the power running board motor typically fails one of two ways: at the hinges or because of a faulty motor that causes the step to become stuck.
Whether the failure is along the hinges or due to the motor, TEKKOAUTO Power Running Board Motor has you covered. Our part is a complete-assembly solution, so you can finish the job in one go.
All of our parts undergo strict quality tests and are manufactured for better performance. These steps are a quality control for the parts to work for a long time.

1. Disconnect the motor loom plug. 2. Undo the four nuts and two bolts holding the two brackets. 3. Remove the running board from the vehicle. 4. Remove the plastic end shield. 5. Remove the motor end cover - screws. Take care not to lose any shims. |
6. Spin the armature until it stops. Then you can see the wedge bolt. 7. Remove the wedge bolt. 8. Knock out aluminium wedge from the back. 9. Note the orientation of the wedge, for re-assembly. Also note the position of the boards. 10. Stand on the board and work the hinges back and forth, whilst liberally spaying all moving parts with penetrating lubricant, until moving freely. |
11. If step 10 improves the operation of the hinges, possibly your motor is OK, and you can re-assemble your board and re-test. Otherwise, you need to replace the motor. 12. Re-assembly is simply the above procedure in reverse. Ensure that the running board is in the same position as when you started. Otherwise you may end up with the boards working in reverse - i.e. retracting instead of deploying, and deploying instead of retracting. |
