Kwikee steps humming

Thanks all for the suggestions.
I managed to pull the entire assembly out. The link arm is fine.
Once I opened the gear box pieces of the gear started falling out. Seems to be in about 8 pieces.

Now to order replacement parts.

If it is the gear that is attached to the motor housing it is probably a power window motor from a Ford product. Mine is 3 steps and takes one from a town Car LF. Some take a Taurus motor with 2 steps. NAPA has a book with pictures and can match up the old ones for next day delivery if they don't have it in stock. Those steps are capable of removing fingers if they are in the wrong place at the wrong time. Be careful and count fingers before & after.

Thanks, but it wan't the motor gear, wish it was, would have been easier to find replacements. It the big one in the gear box.

Just an update, talked to PPL parts and they confirmed I need the conversion kit.
The rep said that there are (may) be parts out there but they have had a lot of returns because the parts didn't fit, so now they only sell the conversion kit.

Not too bad for cost, around $212 including shipping to Massena NY. Hope to pick it up next week as I'm camping in NY anyhow.
