Power Steps - Lippert - Grinding at Retract?
This is a new one on me - the steps now grind at full retract. Lippert Kwikee Steps I've had 'em grind at full extend before. Any suggestions on where to start on a fix? https://photos.app.goo.g...

Thank you MrWiz... Everything is well lubed, no binding. Motor grinds with at the same spot with no load, with steps disconnected.
It's like it doesn't know it's at the limit and keeps pulling.
I guess yanking the motor and looking for some broken teeth is next.
Don't bother looking for broken teeth. Even if you have/find them, (for most people) the gears they attach to aren't individually readily available in the aftermarket. Most likely, you'll be needing a motor/gearbox/controller upgrade/update which is readily available. You can buy a new motor, a new gearbox, or, a new controller, or an upgrade kit containing all three. Google is your friend. You'll need the year, the step series, and possibly the chassis which these Kwikee step upgrades will be attached to get the right parts.
