    Radar Detector Mirror or sunroof switch power/ground tap

    Power running board is shot

    Found the running board gear stripped, back to the drawing board. Used running board assembly with working motor is $250 at junk yard. Will add mudflaps to reduce road grime getting into motor behind steer tires. Would prefer to replace shaft and gear as new for longevity.

    Power running board is shot

    Exactly, while it’s a new motor and mating gear appears fine. I’d like to also replace the idler assembly rod. Have been spraying all moving parts daily and working grease in with movement.
