Thank you! Saved me time and money for a quick fix. Had to change my battery and didn’t realize that reset things to factory default with the boards off.

Many thanks! The tip to check vehicle controls after a battery change was my solution.

Worked like a charm!! Thank you for sharing.

Works great if your motors are bound up!

How do you remove the running boards from the truck if they are stuck closed? You need them extended to gain access to the mounting bolts.

First, is the motor running after you open or close the door. If not, look at the settings to see if you have the boards turned off. If that is not the case, check the fuse and wiring. If the motor is running then the following applies. The process is a pain, but there are two ways. First, spray as much lube into the bushings at the ends of the pins. The bushings are on the outside of the arms. Once you have hit all 16 points, then open the door. As the motor is running apply pressure with your foot to drive the board down and out. You may have to cycle this several times to get it done. The second is to remove the boards from the brackets. This you can do in any position. After that, you can get at all the screws. Failing that, find a way to drive out the pins while still on the truck, one guy did it with and air hammer, but be careful not to damage and expand the ends of the pins. They are a press fit into the lager center sections. If you need to rebuild your boards, then I have a play list that shows the whole process in excessive detail as I go about my old fart ways. The play list is here. kzread.info/head/PLoz-2IH4A2KsZiDXB0f-hhKZtAzO_wuO_

Just replace the bushings. It's not that hard and the tools that you will need cost less than a new bracket. Even if you decide to buy a small hydraulic press, the tool cost will be less. The set of bushings costs around $40 this week. I have a play list that goes into great detail on how to replace these. It also covers how to set them up so that you can actually grease the pivot points, it's located here: kzread.info/head/PLoz-2IH4A2KsZiDXB0f-hhKZtAzO_wuO_

Count your blessings if your problem was only that they were turned off. I like these boards, but keep the hinges clean. They are non serviceable. Spray them with lube if you want, but that does no good. They're permanently lubricated by plastic. Dirt (actually grit) destroys the plastic and when that happens they're trash.

Actually, they are serviceable. The only problem is that Ford doesn't sell the bushings. I have a whole play list on how to replace these bushings, in great detail, including how to set them up so that you can grease them to keep the road gunk out.

@@oldfarthacks yes, you're right. It's falls under everything is serviceable, but few can service them vs the number of people that have the boards. I've torn the hinges down to see that the bushings are the problem, not the motors. Spraying them is pointless. Even adding grease zerks and greasing is next to pointless. Dirt gets in and destroys the bushings. It's surprising that some enterprising sole doesn't offer a service to rebuild the hinges to include customer serviceable parts. There's got to be millions of these out there (to include AMP boards).

Thanks

Thanks 😊

My problem is that the drivers side stays down and the passenger side won't open at all. I know it's electrical. How do you fix it????

@OrsonSzyda

One of them might be wired wrong, or one of the motors might have gone out. It’s also possible it just got stuck, try spraying a ton of wd40 everywhere to loosen up some of the gears

That's an easy fix,but is also in the book or play with the settings any that's not my problem

didn't help me a bit, I knew all that, they are just down and won't go up.

Sorry to hear that! The motors might have failed, or gotten stuck. I really hope you find how to fix them! Good luck!!!
