Well I think it is anyway. I took it apart and lubed it a few weeks ago thinking that lack of lube was the problem but it just appears to be a dying motor. With a bit of hand assistance I can make it go in and out without too much difficulty but the motor just seems too weak to do it unaided.
Haven't had much luck with sourcing a motor from Thule. The parts diagram shows the motor available as a spare but it's not actually listed amongst Thule spare parts.
I say Thule as it looks like the Thule Omnistep but as our van is 8 years old it might be an Omnistor step. Anyhow, can't seem to find a new motor for the slide out step. I can't be the first one to need a new motor surely?
