Good job, Buddy. I just had those steps installed on my Silverado a few weeks ago and I absolutely love them. I'm glad things worked out for you with extended warranty.

2010 Expedition driver side quit working - Dealer quoted same ridiculous pricing. Found motor and bracket on ebay for 200.00 - Replaced myself and works great! Always check if you can DIY before shelling out big bucks!!!

If u maintain them once every 2 weeks depending how bad roads are where u live, lubricate them of ur choice of product, you’ll never have this issue also if u have guards put them on that helps a lot!!

I'll tell you right now... im definitely getting the extended warranty on my 2019 f150 limited when that 3 years comes close... so much tech you can't go wrong with buying it. Also... all trucks with these power steps have that gap so no need to worry, I noticed it on my limited too... it doesn't sit flush with the body so its supposed to be that way

The more I see these videos, the more I’m inclined to keep my fixed running boards.

My passenger side is starting to fail. When you open the door it deploys 90% of the way and retracts. If you push it with your foot it will open fully. I’m hoping I can take the brackets apart and clean/lube them to resolve.

I purchased an extended warranty and under all my options it doesn’t list the running board step motors as a part they would replace. I’m having the issue where my driverside running board won’t go up. I’m going to call them on Monday. Hopefully they replace it like they did yours.

I have a 2018 lariat and am already having some issues with mine. Sometimes one won't go down. It happens on both sides at different times. I have been spraying them with a hose (the motor) when it happens to clean them off and it seems to fix it. I hope it doesn't become permanent

Mine just quit on me last night (driver's side came down, won't go up now... "at all"). I did the extended warranty (2015 F-150 Lariat SuperCrew), but it won't help me with THIS problem... because my truck was not available with them ("higher" models were, but not the Lariat), so I had them added at a local outfit that does such installations, right after I picked up the truck (new). Since there isn't even any noise from the motor, like it's trying to do something... either the motor is dead, or the wiring to the motor conked out. Checking the fuse is a good idea (thanks), so I'll check to see if the passenger door's step comes down (it's currently in the 'up' position). If it doesn't budge... then, yeah, maybe it's a fuse. If it's not a fuse, and the problem can't be fixed without replacing things, I'm only going to have the front-left "motor bracket" replaced. I about had a heart attack when I saw those prices on your invoice. My God.

how did you get the extended service contract to cover that part?

Ive got to drip my truck off too, these steps are driving me nuts and I do have a warranty. They have a mind of thier own and I have to wait for them

Just bought a 3 year old Navigator here in Canada and wondering if the running boards are just going to freeze with slush and ice and weld the boards to the rocker panels. Each time they try to deploy the motors are just going to struggle until they burn out or blow the fuse. Is there a simple way of turning them off for the winter or is pulling the fuse the answer?

Haa... I love a 2017 lariat with the amp research running boards, and my driver's side will not come down !! I also purchased an extended bumper to bumper plus the running boards are under warranty for another month or so. Lol any thoughts on that step before she goes in?

I don't know if this is going to help anyone but I did notice that if you're not sitting in the seat but the keys are in the ignition it would not go all the way up I take it the driver seat passenger seats have sensors on it for weight and if no one is sitting in it it will not fully close anticipating the driver or passenger getting back into the vehicle

This is Robert I own 2012 Ford F150 I put running boards on it the power ones I've got everything hooked up that I know is right I'm almost positive I've got it on the dash but every time I select auto it says it's changing the auto but it don't it goes right back to off and I can't seem to get it out of the off position if you have any information please share

What’s the headlight model?

They don't call it the "Stealership" for nothing.

AMP Research makes these running boards from what i heard and Ford just tweaks it a little so the parts can't be swapped... a brand new complete SET of AMP Research running boards are $1100

I can tell you got younger kids from the vomit bag in your glove box! I got a stash myself from the doctor 😂

Good evening. I have a 2007 Lincoln Navigator Ultimate. The passenger right front bracket/hinge broke on the running board. Can you please tell me if I can just purchase the bracket or do I have to purchase the motor as well. Thank you so much in advance.

FordTechMakuloco has a really good video on these running boards and how to get then unstuck without buying new brackets

Mine when I close the door they go up but then go back down

If you're smart enough and read the manual you need to lubricate your running boards every 2 weeks of constant use!!!!!! They are sticking due to friction and no lubrication. Just because your truck is new it doesn't mean it doesn't need constant care!!! My 2008 Lincoln navigator running boards still work like a charm just by taking care of them

Is there any way to just lock them into the out/down position ?

Electric running boards are trick, but I think I’ll stick with the fixed ones and avoid the inherent problems of the electric ones.Do you know who supplies the electric boards for Ford? You were definitely smart ti get the extended warranty.

So far so good

I had after market electric running boards installed and for the second time in about 5 months I have had my check engine light come on. It's due to the running boards. They are plugged directly into the OBD port. Any recommendations?

Mine won't come down even when set to out... What do I do?

PSA: united car care warranty does not cover this but I’m still trying to get it covered

Should be a recall item

I had a set on AMP Xtreme power steps on my f-150 I took them off and ordered a new controller so I could put them on my f-250, which came with everything wiring wise. installed all new electrical components. Now when I open the door they fold up when I close the door they deploy, any idea whats wrong

$2200 you could have bough a new AMP power step kit. F that shit

Had the same issue without warranty on my 2017 King Ranch. I fixed both sides for 4.95, the price of wd40. Ford service is a joke.

Dealerships are such scammers when the extended warranty is utilized. It's BS

New motors on Amazon both motors for 150.00 No need for hinges. Crooks Stealer Ships

I'd go after market if I had to pay for them:/

the cost for new are 1300

Thought this was an actual repair video. Smh

You need to go to Ford Quick Tips #86: How to Fix Stuck Power Running Boards for Good by FordTechMakuloco.

My 2006 mountaineer has the power running boards. Mine never worked.

I paid $250 at Amazon to replace both sides with the motors, not a difficult repair.

Watch “FordTechMakuLoco” he has a video how to clean and prevent this. Works for me in Ohio salty roads

thats how much the entire set is from AMP

You can buy a brand new set for $1200? Wth

Smdh. Ain't no way.
