The tack welds just aren’t strong enough to handle that much torque repeatedly. I’m just saying it isn’t worth the risk to remove them because it is almost impossible to reinstall the bolts if the welds fail.

The on/off switch doesn't allow you to operate the steps, only to turn the system on/off. If you activate the switch when the steps are up, they stay up. If you activate it when the steps are down, the steps stay down. The door delete kit allows you to lower or raise the steps at the push of a button.

@northridgenation4 ай бұрын
Did you get them from us? First step is to reset them. Pull the fuse up near the battery. Check to make sure it is good and then reinstall it (replace it if blown). Did the steps go down and go back up? Everything good? Then it just needed a rest. Still not working? Pull the motor plug at the step and check for corrosion. If it's nasty, clean up all the corrosion, add in some dielectric grease, plug it back in and retest. If everything looks good, then it might be a deeper problem. Contact your oarts supplier to find out what to do next.
