Kwikie power step, need a new motor!
#1

I need a new Kwikie power step at the midship entrance door. 1996 Newell 45
I believe the company is no longer in business, but hope someone has taken over and has parts, and such. 
Anyone know??
Thanks!

I have been able to get parts from RV service shops on a couple of occasions. Try to make sure you have a good ground first of all.

It’s a power window motor. I got one at autozone I may be able to get part number tomorrow.

Mine was the same as the drivers door power window motor on a 1996 Ford Taurus. I believe Dorman makes them.

PPL sells individual parts for Kwikee steps.

Kwikee steps are now a part of Lippert Industries https://www.lci1.com/kwikee-steps

Etrailer has just the replacement arm, which is what I think I need. (https://www.etrailer.com/s.aspx?qry=379649) 62.95
If I need the Ford Taurus motor, do I need to reassemble the linkage parts to the new motor? It would seem so. And, is it a simple procedure? Thanks! John

How much effort does it take to switch the linkage parts etc. to the new motor? I would really like to get the right part number, Thanks, John

What is PPL?

i just replaced mine. get the model/series number and search around. Kwikee is sold by someone else. I got through PPL and it was about 250 or so can't find the receipt.
