Factory (only) Power Steps

[Farmer Fran]

Mine used to deploy on door unlock. After update they do not.

Do yours?

I've owned two different Ram 1500 5th gens with factory power steps (2020 Limited, 2021 Limited) and the steps did not deploy on door unlock. They deploy only when a door is opened or with the deploy "button" on the uconnect screen. I haven't seen one that deployed when the doors are unlocked. Maybe that was a change that happened with the 2025 model year updates?

Not sure. I do know they turned it off with the latest update along with the door locks at 15mph.

2021 2500, factory boards. They have never deployed unless door was open or deploy hit on Uconnect controls menu.

The doors locking at 15 is selectable on the Uconnect settings screen under locks.

The door lock at 15 MPH setting is now done by the dealer. The update moved it to the IPC which is accessible through a WITECH or AlfaOBD.
Reference Star Case S2508000003.

Well that sucks, they turned it off on my latest visit.

Not on mine, it looks like post 5 explains that. So stupid to take that away from the user.
