I worked as a auto mechanic and heavy equipment /ag mechanic for 30 plus years ! he is right the plug being hard to pull apart due to its location ! but ! but what I learned over the years is a electrical connection will be the culprit a lot of the times so I always do a wiggle test on all wires and also pull the plugs apart and clean the contacts and put them back together and try it out

@betodantas6855 Год назад

Thank you for posting this video. My driver side boards started to make a horrible noise in the last week. I took it to the dealership and they wanted to charge me $900 to get the motor replaced. Now, I have the confidence of doing it myself.

@chrisdixon4851 2 года назад

Glad you did this video and put the ebay link. I'm just waiting for the day I bust my ass when they don't deploy properly. You definitive eased my apprehension on doing it myself.

@KenRowlan 2 года назад

Thanks for doing this. I haven't seen a clear enough video like this to actually replace the motors. I hope the driver's side is as easy. The links helped too!

@justinopperman4204 Год назад

I'm about to replace mine with fixed. Just tired of messing with them. Good video.

@antnope3042 3 месяца назад

We don’t care

@oldfarthacks Год назад

The other option is to replace the worn out bushings in the brackets. Quite often, the motor is fine, but the bushings do transfer the plastic from the bushing to the pivot pins. That increases the drag and the boards slow down. The final stage is stuck boards. A set of bushings for one side runs about $40. I cover that process on a couple of videos.

@Jerre1212 Год назад

I’ve been reading and the life on these are about 5 years (give or take) or 60,000 miles? I mean so if you’re rocking anything under a 2018 it’ll most likely need replaced don’t you think?

@oldfarthacks Год назад

@@brentanderson722 This is true, but the failure process only gets worse as the plastic bearing surface goes away. Take a look at my video series on this if you are interested. I had to replace the passenger side ones on my 08 Navigator after I broke it off. I just bought a new cheap Chinese motor and arm assembly and then rebuilt the rear one using parts from a broken one from eBay and my original one. Since I want this to work for a long time, that rear assembly is now set up with zerk fittings so that I can grease all 8 pivot points. The video series is here: ru-vid.com/group/PLoz-2IH4A2KsZiDXB0f-hhKZtAzO_wuO_

@andyboy13 Год назад

Best I've found for winter was clean them out well! Some sort of pen lube get it smooth. Then some white grease, then fluid film on top. She ain't pretty, but did a whole Alberta winter with a smooth driver side board. Pretty sure I stripped my passenger side two winters ago, thus why I'm here 😅 it has its occasional Up's and Down's now. When it does move there's a nasty vibration from the motor, no grinding.... Moves up and down quickly when it does.

@colecon1012 Год назад

Thanks, great video! I just got a quote for $2,700 to replace both motors...

@freebirdinct410 5 месяцев назад

The crooked dealer tried ripping me off too. Quotes me $1600 just for the drivers side. Did it myself fro $600. I bought genuine Mopar parts so it can be done cheaper with China parts

@OldAndGettingOlder Год назад

I can't argue with the all in one shotgun approach. You probably replaced more than you needed to. Nonetheless, you replaced what was wrong...whatever it was. Likely it was only the bushings in the hinge. The hinge bearings are usually the problem. It is unfortunate that Ford didn't design the hinges to be easily serviceable.

@oldfarthacks Год назад

Yep. They should have put zerk fittings on so that you could grease the 16 pivot points on each side. I have a video series that shows how to do that.

@OahuRealEstate 11 месяцев назад

Great video almost exactly what I needed. My board needs to be replaced. Motors work fine. Will the board come off just by removing the 4 set screws (2 on each board)?

@alfredosoto6447 Год назад

@thegaff1888 8 месяцев назад

@bdragon76 6 месяцев назад

Just a note. If they are stuck in the up position you are going to have a fun time getting that top nut off with the boards in the way. It can be done it’s just a pain

@mca5729 Год назад

Thanks for the video. Got it changed easily enough except now when it should be retracted its out and when it should be out its retracted. Thoughts??

@alpha2foxtrot Год назад

Excellent video. Once you removed the (2) allen fasteners each end of the board, did the board come off the brackets or did you need to slide it off, parallel to the truck?

@AutoDad Год назад

Yes, the running board pulled right up and off

@farhanasworldbdusa2205 10 месяцев назад

Iam super confused about this car. I bought 3 month ago and iam having so many problems may be I’ll return , I love this car but problem hurts me 😢 I went service center for Running board issue they said it’s need software update, they did and again Iam facing running board problem

@ernpend Год назад

Why not just clean and lube the hinges? They’ll work like new.

@AutoDad Год назад

My motors were bad. Tried the hinge approach and did nothing

@gbellamyjr Год назад

Yeah, early in the game it will help but years of salt and dirt and the up and down motion destroys the motors.

@Lord_Fishy Год назад

My motor went out and I really don’t even want these running boards anymore. But now that I can get the boards to go down to give me access to the bolts, it’s impossible to uninstall them. Anyone have a similar experience? Advice would be HUGE!
