Having trouble with the retractable running boards not working properly any ideas
they work very slow an need help going down

 

mine were acting goofy too. I powerwashed the hinges good and sprayed a little WD40 and they worked better, but I still hear mine retracting slow or well after the time it should be retracting.

I love them, they're cool as all hell, but when they **** the bed out of warranty, they're probably just going to come off altogether. I love all these gadgets on my limited, but I'm going to start getting pissed when they all crap out on me.

 

thanks thats what i did it rely didnt help much

 

I'd actually check with the dealer for any outstanding TSB's.

My sister had one with several issues:
- Running boards either not retracting at all, or even not coming out, or coming out late (already stepping to the pavement and the board clips your shin)...
- Outside mirrors that tilt for backup staying tilted, or not tilting.
- Sunroof came open one day while she was going through the car wash... That one was especially frustrating for her - hilarious to me!
