2016 GMC Sierra Denali 1500 power running boards

[Dan Lagesse]

Having problems with my power running boards. Replaced battery and now the driver's side running boards extends all the way out. It will retract fine and the passenger side works like it should. Any ideas??

Sorry. I asked the question on the wrong page!

Maybe try this, or pull the fuse out for a few minutes, then put back in.

 

To activate and unlock the articulating running boards for normal operation, perform the following procedures:

Open all front and rear doors.
Set the parking brake.
Find the running board disable switch located on the center console below the HVAC climate control system.
Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position, with the engine off, and toggle the disable switch three times within 20 seconds to activate the power running boards.
Close all doors.
Open the left front or left rear door and the running board on the left side should articulate out.
Close the left front or left rear door and the running board should articulate in.
Open right front or right rear door and the running board on the right should articulate out.
Close the right front or right rear door and the running board should articulate in.

The articulating running boards will now operate when opening either the front or rear doors on that side of the vehicle. A power retract operation of the running boards will occur with the closing of both doors on that side of the vehicle.

Ok I'll try it. When I open the door it comes out fast like it should but when it's past the point where it should stop it runs real slow like it's lost.

Have you ever cleaned/lubed them?

 

Could just have a bunch of winter crude built up on the pivot points.

I tried it but no luck. They go in and out fine but the left side extends way to far. I've cleaned and lubed before. Worked fine till I unhooked the battery....
