Kwikee Step

One more tip, watch your arms/fingers placement as you work on these in relation to the movement of the steps, especially as you re-apply power to the motor. It is a powerful motor that could do bodily harm if body parts are in the way and the steps fold in. Good luck with your repair!

This is some info I have collected over the years from various threads for Kwikee steps.

On disasembly of the motor I found the plastic plugs severly lopsided due to all the years of strain, new plugs cost $8.00 at Autozone or Amazon, other than that the Autozone Ford Mark VI would have worked $ $44, but I saved myself $38

Just rplaced my 25 series Kwikee step motor with a Dorman 742-277 window lift motor for a 1986 Ford Taurus driver side window lift motor. They said the Taurus had a high torqe motor which is why the number ends with 277 meaning high torqe. My steps zip in and out with this motor application. It was a special order item but only took one day for them to get it to my local AutoZone store. I also noticed AutoZone had rebuild kits for Dorman window lift gear boxes (plastic gears) in the Help section of the store.

I thought I might need a new motor, but first I got under the steps and used silicon lubricant on all the moving joints. That's all it needed, as KiwKee motors work on resistance for feedback to the motor.

I got mine at NAPA. I found the 3 step ones have a slightly different motor than 2 step models. Age also makes a difference since they switched a few years ago.

Kwikee motors are small in comparison to Frigette. I believe that some window electric motors are the same size that Kwikee uses on their steps.

Here are several links with some info that will help. Have gotten the nylon gear from Oreilly Auto Parts for about $20.00 You should be able to match up your motor from the Dorman page.
