In the middle of an install and I've run into an issue. Tech support is closed until Monday. I'll call them Monday if all else fails, but hoping someone else may have run into this issue. I have the steps installed and am at the point of hooking the blue and white wires from the OBD module to some wires behind the kick panel. The issue I have is the instructions and pictures don't match what I have. I have confirmed the instructions I'm looking at are for my make/model. The instructions say I should have an 8 plug harness....while I have only 7 plugs. The instructions say I should connect to the first, gray plug....my first plug is white. The instructions say I should connect to the 4th, green plug.....my 4th plug is black. Even if I use the green plug, the wire color and the specified pin location does not match the wire color specified in the instructions. Hopefully someone else here has run into this same issue and can confirm which plugs/wires I'm supposed to tap into so I can finish this install over the weekend. If not, I'll call tech support on Monday and figure out why my instructions are wrong. Thanks! -
2017 Silverado LT extended cab. I recently installed the AMP Research Powerstep with OBD2 connection 76154-01A. There is an ongoing issue with the drivers side motor continuing to run once the step is fully deployed when the drivers door is opened. Also, when I open the rear drivers side door the step deploys, leave the door open then open the drivers door and the motor turns on. In either case the motor only runs for a second or two following step deployment. Once this happens I can close then open either door and it works correctly. The pasenger side works fine and has no effect on the drivers side. This problem is random although it happens mostly in the morning or when the truck has not been driven or doors opened for a few hours. All electrical connections seem to be good; connectors 'snapped' into place, same with OBD connector. AMP has been good about sending replacement parts; first the controller followed by a clutch gear which unfortunately neither made for any improvement. I am at a loss; could this be the trucks fault, the BCM or door switch sending an extra or too long signal? Or maybe the AMP controller(s) has an issue; software or electrical? What do you guys think? Am I the only one to experience this? Here is youtube link of the motor overrun in action where I open the rear door followed by the front: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cidiuCnInLk
