Kwikee step motor

[ricardo]

Well I experienced the unfortunate event of someone pulling alongside and waving that our steps were down. After trouble shooting I determined the motor is bad. I have read that an auto power window motor is a direct replacement but how do I determine which one is correct? Are all the steps using the same motor? I found no informatiopn on the motor itself but of course there is a part number (9010000220)for my two step Kwikee. There is also a pin # 151000014 on the control board housing. Thanks in advance.

Researched this problem on mine a few years ago and came up with a part number from NAPA BK6551395, other parts stores also have them you could cross reference this number and get it. The cost was around $50. If I remember correctly it is a motor from a front driver side door on a 96 or so Ford Taurus. The parts store was a lot cheaper than the dealer. If I had to purchase from the dealer it would of been better to buy the whole step assembly. Mine has not completely stopped yet, so I have not actually did the change yet. When it does though I will only change the motor. There was a lot of info on the net about doing this change, but I can't remember where it was.

Cant speak to your step motor, but I just ordered an exact replacement from Rock Auto for 29.00 for my Series 28 Kwikee step. You can check Cardone motors and I believe AMequipment.com(?) for pictures to match up to.

I had a similar situation (motor failed after 12 years), and looked to buy a motor from Kwikee. It was only a little more expensive, and less hassle, to buy a whole new step assembly from them.
