Hi All,
I'm new to the forum -- just purchased a 2015 Ram 1500 Limited yesterday. It's a neighbor's old vehicle and I've been in it a bunch so I know this is a new problem. A couple of days ago the passenger's side power running board started playing up -- not deploying occasionally, and once it (or the pair, I'm not sure) stuck out overnight and the truck had a dead battery next morning.
I was playing with it yesterday and the passenger-side board deployed about 1 time in 4 opening the door, and failed to retract maybe once in about 20 tries.
As I open the door and it fails to deploy, I hear a 'thunk' from the rear end of the truck. It sounds further back that the end of the running board. Is that likely related, or something like the tailgate unlocking (not that I think it was locked anyway)?
Is there anything I can look to for a fix? Just need to lube something, or is there something more electronic going on?
Thanks,
Toby.
