did you do it yourself? - seems like one of those regular maintenance jobs that can save a lot of money in the long run. i thought most steps are pretty much the same and not actually related to the vehicle manufacturer but to the type fitted by the manufacturer- just had mine cleaned (completely different vehicle).
I dismantled but it's an art to put the brushes back in with springs and slide the main shaft back in!!! Had to use a local electric motor company to reassemble but all good now. Grantham Electrical were really helpful. My gearbox was surprisingly clean inside but brushes very carbonised.did you do it yourself? - seems like one of those regular maintenance jobs that can save a lot of money in the long run. i thought most steps are pretty much the same and not actually related to the vehicle manufacturer but to the type fitted by the manufacturer
are you def bridging the switch? you dont actually need the switch, the retract/extend is just the L/N being reversed to N/L on the step ive just fitted, in fact the instructions advised to test those functions before fittingIve got 12v when it retacts, but when i return it on the swith no volts,i put a wire to to bridge the switch but nothing where or if is there a relay? going away in the mornig so ive taken the motor off and will just use a step for now but would like it to get it going in the future
Damn, i was hoping it was a LOT simpler than that !!I dismantled but it's an art to put the brushes back in with springs and slide the main shaft back in!!!

I also tested the controller to make sure it outputs+12v and -12v respectively when switch or magnetic switch operated.

I dismantled the motor myself and used brake cleaner, dried and then very find sandpaper. The putting back together was where I got stuck but the local firm refused to bill me for "half an hour's work" so got paid in biscuits for the shop floor. Lucky me!sorry cant help, re where the relay is situated, but it will be in the wiring circuit somewhere, so follow the wires. i assume it will be in an accessible location ......
Jev88 - what was the cost for an overhaul please?.... it might still be worth having it done after a few years of road grime ....
