Electric running boards won't go all the way up.

Wow this thread went off the rails. Play nice guys. We're all here to have fun and help each other out. I know you're both very knowledgeable and helpful, but this.... this is bad...

I'd say a bit of a gap is normal. Yours might be bigger than mine, but mine certainly isn't flush either.

Wow it looks like mine. When I get time I am going to look deeper into it and report the findings if any.

I was kidding, '07. I've got a bit of a gap too, when they retract. I have a huge gap when they don't...big enough to put your feet on. Pass side works great, driver's side, not so much. Very intermittent...

There is a easy limit relearn procedure but have never had power boards to say if its effective.

Key switched on but engine not running for older models. For newer models double tap push button start but don't touch the brake pedal. Doors unlocked.

Open a door to extend. Stand on or apply some downward force to the board. You or someone else close the door completely. Board should remain fully extended due to obstacle detection, similar to the safety feature of power windows. Step off or remove force. Open then close the same door.

The board should, key word being should, retract fully. Do the same on each side. Its possible the board(s) had a mud or snow/ice buildup at some point and the motor learned a new, incorrect stopping point.

Anything could have happened before I bought it a 138k miles but I will try fiddling with relearn procedures. The hinges appear to be folding flat which is throwing me a curve. I will post back on the findings. Some say don't worry about it but it's in mint condition and the only thing wrong with the whole truck.

Nope the computer didn't learn anything but thanks anyway.

I'm like Trump I punch back........but I don't start anything.
