Just had to throw this out to everyone! Constantly see Ad's for Premium and Platinum Escalades with the retractible running boards stuck in the down position and the seller claiming it is in perfect condition-needs NOTHING. If you are un experienced
with this vehicle and you see this get the price down 3 grand OR RUN AWAY!!!!!

Motors
linkage/brackets
labor if you cant do the work
3 grand minimum could be more.

A dealership will print you out an estimate - hand it to the seller - That wants top dollar for it!

They are expensive to fix.

Not always $$$, easy to fix with cleaning and lubrication.

I removed my electric sidesteps and got the stationary sidesteps on craigslist for $200 new. It also looks better!

Yup this is what I am doing when mine go south. I am usually gone by the time the steps are out.

I'm considering doing this.
Mine seem to be on their last stretch of life too.
