Platinum Running Board Problem

Platinum Running Board Problem
My boss has a 2010 Platinum with the automatic running boards. Recently the drivers side as not been working correctly, and when he brought it back to the dealer they told him the motor is bad. They wanted big $1800 to repair it, so he didn't have it done.
Is there a source for these motors, aftermarket or stock?
Thanks,
Steve

The drivers side stopped working.
He took it apart Friday, and removed the motor assembly. When he took the motor apart he found the problem.......one of the magnets is broken, and the rotor is scored as well.
Not sure what his next move is going to be, he's trying to get warranty replacement or find a junked one to get the motor off.

Maybe try a salvage yard? www.car-part.com is one site that searches salvage yards.
I tried to search real quick and under 09 F150 running board was this part listing:
LH 'LEO' PWR MOTOR ONLY!
Stock #P36764
Price $300
Mikes Auto Parts USA-MI(Flint) 1-800-826-6467
Not sure what LEO means but LH is left hand which should be the driver's side and it says power motor so maybe that is the part he needs?

easy fix
Dealer told me $1900 to fix. I did a little research on internet and figured out that all i needed to do was to grease the gears. I did not have this problem until we had a ton of rain. I removed 8 bolts to drop running board and unplug. take bolt out of the gear that turns the shaft that moves the running board up. Remove the bolts that connect motor to running board (should be 2 or 3) that a hammer and ratchet extension and knock shaft out. remove shaft casing and clean gears then regrease at reinstall. It took me less than 2 hours but its worth the $1900 I saved.
Hope it works for you
