You're saying that your running boards aren't coming out when you open the door? There's a button on the dash under the AC controls where you can turn that on and off.

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


1. Open all front and rear doors.

2. Set the parking brake.

3. Find the running board disable switch located on the center console below the HVAC climate control system.

4.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.

5. Close all doors.

6. Open the left front or left rear door and the running board on the left side should articulate out.

7. Close the left front or left rear door and the running board should articulate in.

8. Open right front or right rear door and the running board on the right should articulate out.

9. 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.
