Power Running Board Motor Availability

GlennSullivan · Jun 9, 2026

FYI - From time to time I see a post where someone is looking to replace power running board motors on a Gen 3 and sees that Ford only offers the entire assembly at a very healthy price. I was looking through Rock Auto today for an unrelated item and saw that they offer a number of different make replacements, none are cheap, but certainly less than paying for the entire aswsembly.

I got one on ebay for $215. Installed 3yrs ago and still running strong. That rig procedure is kinda wacky but not a hard job.

Well, as long as you're only replacing the motors, control rod & brackets, it shouldn't be too expensive...around $800-1000...

But the boards themselves, well that's another story altogether...

A few years ago, I got a quote from local stealership for the entire package: $3857. So I called around to a few other stealerships not too far away and was quoted $3950 & $4662.

Of course this included paint to match and 2 coats of satin clear coat too, which I know is expensive in it's own right, but that still seemed high...

Anyways, good luck with your replacements

So, it pays to keep those things clean and oiled, but I'm wondering if the motor can be repaired at a "motor shop" which should cost much less.

That is interesting, didn't think of that.
