My steps don't completely retract. The large nylon gear that is turned by the worm gear seems to be worn in the center where the worm gear works.
Where can I find the nylon gear replacement?

This is some info I have collected over the years from various threads for Kwikee steps.

They said the Taurus had a high torqe motor which is why the number ends with 277 meaning high torqe. My steps zip in and out with this motor application. It was a special order item but only took one day for them to get it to my local AutoZone store. I also noticed AutoZone had rebuild kits for Dorman window lift gear boxes (plastic gears) in the Help section of the store.

I realize the steps problems and fixes have been discussed a lot. But, I need help finding the correct step motor for a 1996 Winnebago Adventurer. I purchased one for a 89-95 Taurus. It has 5 gear splines. Mine has 12. My old motor has no information on it. It was a replacement. Help me if you can I'm feeling unsuccessful.
Thanks,

I have an 86 Chieftain, the steps seem to be locked in place but only halfway retracted. We took the pin out that connects the gearbox to the step and it is jammed. The little lever arm that rotates to move the step is frozen.

What may have caused the problem is a mechanic tried to manually retract the steps while the aux battery was out. I don't know whether he jammed it or why it won't move.

Thanks,

I don't know if I posted the results of my steps problem. So, I'll tell you now. I purchased a kwiki step motor from Camping World. Then matched the parts number to one I found on line and saved a bunch of money. I installed the the new motor after receiving it via UPS and now my steps work perfectly.
I returned the Camping World motor.
