well, i went out and tried a few more things. I first tried putting dialectric grease on the amp research connector at the power module. it made no difference. I then checked the inline fuse on the red power line connected to the battery. It was good. I then disconnected both positive and negative powerstep wires at the battery. I cleaned the positive connection and reattached them. I tested the steps by opening the passenger door, and the step came down!! But, it only worked for one cycle because when i shut the passenger door the step wouldn't go up. I checked the driver side door and the steps didn't move. I took a brief break, came back and removed the inline fuse for 30 seconds. I put the inline fuse back in and tested both doors. Now both steps cycle properly!! I hope it stays that way. Thanks

 

Dang! for the last two weeks the steps have been stuck in the down position. Yesterday i decided to go through the motions again and test the connections. I pulled the 30amp in-line fuse for the power steps, pulled and reinstalled the connector plug at the power step control module. I then spray all the door orifices with lubricant spray. Now the steps work. Let's see how long that lasts.

 

give amp research technical assistance a call. they have great customer service. you might also try and wiggle each connector that plugs into the step motors (this is what i had to do), each step has its own motor.

 

amp powersteps work with new control module

i called amp research last month and they sent me out another controller, since it was still under warranty. i plugged it in, but nothing works. i even used dielectric grease on the controller plug and pulled the 30 amp fuse to try and reset the unit. nothing. Well, I just needed to give the computer a day to set i suppose. With the new controller in place, the steps have been working great for the last 4 weeks. Amp research tech support was awesome and very willing to help. Big praise goes to them.
thanks all!! :icon_wink:
