It's a simple mechanism under the truck. Something may be stuck in the works somewhere, or your motor may be worn out. Anyway, get under the truck. You'll figure it out.

I am having the exact same problem. If it is the motor then how come it is only on the driver side for both vehicles? Any help is appreciated.

my guess is that the drivers side gets worn out more due to us getting in and out more...
 
I would like to see a write up on how to fix this or where to find such information.

Has a dealer or any other repair person looked at it?

I had my main dealer look at it and they said...
Drivers side motor needs to be replaced and track cleaned out... Price $640 ($340 for motor, $300 labor)
 
I searched for discount parts on the web and found a Drivers side motor for $65 new at a discount Ford Parts House (This motor was just the motor, no housing, housing was $200+)
 
I called a few other dealers...
1 dealer quoted me $90 for labor, but $340 for motor (no housing)

I just spent the last two hours going through another thread on this forum the discussed a host of issues (very scary stuff, but that is to be expected since most questions on here are about issues people are having). Anyhow, one of the things one member did was have the dealer oil down the components that deal with the deployment of the boards and his problem went away.
Incidentally that is what one dealer suggested. It seems like the running board issue prevelent. I saw tons of posts with that pronplem mentioned.

What kind of "Oil", or do you mean "grease"? On my 03, the driver side went first, then the passenger side. I also have other electrical problems, the most recent being that the high tone horn went out. And as soon as I purchased a replacement, it came back.

I don't know what kind of oil they used. I suppose the dealer can tell you.

I took mine in for the dealer to look at. She just called top say they oiled it but that did not work. They suggest I changed both the board and motor, cost $2300.
