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...

Replacing old motor with a new replacement version can also mean modifying the wiring, the last motor i replaced did not have the same connections as the one i removed, replacing the controller usually requires replacing the door sensor switch, because the controller circuit has changed to sense a different switch connection,
One is a switch that closes AKA when the magnet is near, one is switch that opens when the magnet is near, I'm not sure which one is the old design and new design,
I think closed when magenta is near AKA normally open switch is the old style, but i can't swear to that,
Anyway the controller is not the OP's problem
Yessir - you are correct. Another person told me the controller uses Current Sensing to determine when the motor has reached it's limit/end stop. So broken or worn teeth might be the issue.
It's a nice day today so I'll ruin it by crawling underneath the beast and yanking stuff off. :)
