- replaced motor works perfect,thanks for all the help!
- Which Brand step do you have? If Kwikee---BAD MOTOR. If LCI(Coachstep) it is either the pie shaped drive gear(missing teeth which you can see) or a bad motor. PS, either brand should NEVER click. Doug
- only clicks when extending and just recently started doing it.
- If it clicks when retracting
And when it extends
High probably of broken teeth on the main gear in the gear box,
And you will need to buy a new gear box for your step, it will work as is until too many of the teeth break, which could leave you in a situation where the step does not retract all the way and keeps clicking until you will power - Sounds normal. It extends till it stops. When the motor runs without the step moving, it increases amperage draw which the sensor senses. When it senses increased amperage draw, it shuts off. That is not an instantaneous happening.
