The power running board motor operates automatically in conjunction with your vehicle's door sensors. Once installed correctly, the running board will function as follows:

• Implementering: When the corresponding vehicle door (driver's side in this case) is opened, the running board will automatically deploy to its extended position.
• Tilbagetrækning: When the corresponding vehicle door is closed, the running board will automatically retract to its stowed position beneath the vehicle.

Ensure there are no obstructions in the path of the running board during deployment or retraction to prevent damage to the motor or the running board itself.

8. Vedligeholdelse

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your power running board motor, consider the following maintenance tips:

• Regelmæssig inspektion: Periodically inspect the motor and bracket assembly for any signs of damage, loose connections, or excessive wear.
• Rensning: Keep the motor and surrounding areas free from excessive dirt, mud, salt, and debris. A gentle wash with water and mild soap, followed by thorough rinsing, can help prevent corrosion.
• Smøring: Consult your vehicle's service manual or a professional mechanic regarding lubrication requirements for the running board's pivot points and moving parts. Avoid lubricating the motor itself unless specifically instructed.
• Ledningskontrol: Sørg for, at alle elektriske forbindelser forbliver sikre og fri for korrosion.

9. Fejlfinding

If you experience issues with your power running board motor, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Running Board Does Not Deploy/Retract:
  • Check all electrical connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
  • Inspect for any physical obstructions preventing movement.
  • Kontroller, at køretøjets batteri har tilstrækkelig opladning.
  • Check relevant fuses in your vehicle's fuse box (refer to your vehicle's owner's manual).
• Usædvanlige lyde under drift:
  • Inspect for debris caught in the mechanism.
  • Check for loose mounting bolts on the motor or running board.
  • Consider if lubrication is needed for the running board's pivot points (not the motor itself).
• Intermitterende drift:
  • This could indicate a loose electrical connection or a failing sensor. Recheck connections.
  • Ensure the door sensor is functioning correctly (if applicable to your vehicle's system).

Hvis fejlfindingstrinene ikke løser problemet, anbefales det at kontakte en certificeret biltekniker.
