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...

That's sounds like a broken gear in the gear box that driving the arm,
Normal operation, When retracting the controller turns off the Motor when the motor current load goes up because the step is retracted and cannot move further,
But the broken gear in the output shaft is not engaging the gear on the motor shaft, , the motor keeps spinning,
The motor gear slapping against the broken teeth of the output gear
