The motor for my entry step went out after parking the mh after the trip. Glad it went out after the trip.
When closing the door the step would retract as normal but would continue closing even though the step was in. The motor and step kept moving making a loud racheting sound.
I removed the old motor. Looks good. Easy to remove. Three 10mm bolts and a two wire plug. Hardest part was removing the pin that holds the gear arm to the step. I found that pulling the wire plug while the motor is moving will stop the movement mid cycle. This takes the pressure off arm making it easy to remove the pin
Called LCI and tech confirmed it was the motor not the gear box. He said the motor has an internal plastic gear that gets stripped.
Ordered new motor from Amazon
