Power running board modulator location

I attached the process for replacing it which shows the location. Plus the process for the trim to gain access. Let us know if you need more info. Thanks

Thanks. I’ll give it to my husband to look at.

I’ll let you know if that’s the problem. Our running boards seem to work but the passenger side is really noisy and tends to work on its own when I’m driving. The motor is working, we’ve greased up the hinges and joints, and the modulator is the next option. We haven’t replaced the motor yet but since it is working we think maybe the modulator is the problem.

If it is noisy, can you get a recording of the operation so we can hear it? This could be the motor itself. Hearing it will help identify it. Thanks

Sure. That would be great. Thank you. I’ll post it in a few minutes.

Noise video of power running boards.

Just wondering if the video came through okay. Thanks

I suspect the motor is the issue. The fact that you have to pick up on it and it gets quite shows that the motor is not able to pick up the running board anymore. The module just supplies the power at the proper time to run the motor. So the fact that this is happening when this is moving, I would go with the motor. I attached the process on this.

Thanks so much. I think we will go the motor and bracket route now and hope that’s the fix. I will let you know. I really appreciate your help. We can have an idea but it’s nice to have someone like you who knows.

Thank you for the kind words. We are here to help. Let us know how you make out but I am sure you will get it with that. If it were me, that is what I would do. Thanks again.

I’ll definitely come back and let you know if that’s the problem. Thanks again.

Just an update. We have replaced the step motor yet as we ran into a couple other needed repairs. But it’s on the list.

Sounds great. Clearly no rush from our side. This link will always work so just update this post whenever you get it. Thanks for thinking of us and keeping us up to date.

thanks!

You're welcome. We will wait to hear back. Thanks
