Passenger side folding step

[reyn3545]

Does anyone else find that the passenger side folding step does not deploy every time the door is opened?

I don't know exactly how often it happens, because 90% of the time, there's no passenger. But when I do travel with a passenger, every once in a while the step does 't deploy properly. I can use the screen menus to deploy the step, or the passenger can close and re-open the door, and it always works.

Does anyone know what brand the factory powered running boards are?
Please don't say "Mopar"; but if you do say "Mopar" then who (sub-contractor) sourced it?

My understanding is that the Ram Box, the spray-on bed-liner, the powered boards, etc are all sent out to be done, by subcontractor(s), a little bit down the road from the factory. Not the factory-proper.

The reason I ask if we can identify the origins of the powered factory running boards is I didn't get them from the factory and now I want them. BUT... to maximize compatibility and minimize the law of unintended consequences (and "Murphy"), and not have some installer do extraneous drilling of my frame, I was hoping to get "factory" powered boards as an "aftermarket" addition.
