Okay, I'm going to start by disagreeing with almost everything offered, being a 2006 rig, I bet you do not have a Ford window lift motor, most likely a AM Equipment motor, whacking is for wackos, not motors, the manual is #888 and has full wiring schematics and a very good trouble shooting guide, Chris Bryant has a link on his web site, the motor is more likely bad than the gears, I will agree that they are a wink link, normally the steps hit the limit adjustment and the motor stops and there will be tension on the linkage and finally, monthly maintenance is good and not just when a problem arises.
So follow the trouble shooting guide and safety guidelines and you'll find the problem quickly.
Wacking is for wackos??????? I have 37 years and still working as an RV Tech. Hitting the motor when the Under step orange light goes on and off with the door opening is closing may not sound "Scientific". But it works for me almost 99 percent of the time. The other 1 percent the motor has completely failed and you have a devil of a time getting the motor and linkage released to replace the motor. Just because the lengthy manual does not state it, the diag of a Kwikee step is extremely simple IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. Doug
PS. You are the poster that claimed Kwikee is out of business. So who has the knowledge???????????????????? NOT YOU.:h
