Order Notes
Cleaning your PowerStep
In adverse conditions, debris such as mud, dirt, and salt may become trapped in the running board mechanism, possibly leading to unwanted noise, or binding.
Prepare for cleaning
Manually set the running boards to deploy: The running boards can be manually set in the deployed position by opening the door, and then place your foot on the step. Leave firm pressure with your foot on the step while you close the door. This will leave your steps in the deployed position.
How to maintain your steps:
Using a pressure washer to clean the front and rear linkages which are all 4 hinge points for your PowerSteps. Avoid spraying the motors directly.
After washing, apply silicone spray (dry Film lubricant) only, to all 4 linkage arms and all pivot pins, some of these pins will be located up high on the linkage arm as well. Then cycle the door to work the lubrication in to the hinge points.
Do not apply silicone, wax, or protectants like Armor All® to the running board. Do not lubricate with any greases, oils, WD-40, or penetrants.
This cleaning should be done periodically, or when debris such as mud, dirt or salt becomes trapped in the running board mechanism.
Installation
AMP Research Powerstep Smart Series Running Boards feature an intuitive installation using the included vehicle-specific mounting brackets, hardware, and instructions. Each order includes a plug-n-play wiring harness and module, allowing you to integrate the step's wiring harness into your vehicle's factory electrical system with minimal cutting, splicing, and modification.
We recommend leaving this installation to a professional or skilled DIY-ers due to the wiring involved. For additional installation assistance, contact the experts and check out our video installation guides!
