Controlling my Rough Country Power running boards with a factory switch

No. It’s on off for now. When I get caught up I’m going to see if I can simulate open doors with wiring. Haven’t had a situation where I wanted to keep them deployed so it’s not a priority right now

Maybe keeping them down in a parking lot would help with door dings or when you want to wash the roof and use them as step.

Did you have any issues mounting the control module where they tell you? I cant see it fitting where they show it.

OK, so I just received my AMP Research powerstep from Real Truck to install on my 4th gen Sport. The installation took awhile and then when I got to the part in the manual to connect the OBD plug to the truck's wiring system there is nothing in the install manual that tells or shows you which wire to splice into. It says blue and white wires, but the problem is that there are 5 white wires and several blue ones. Called Real Truck and they were unsure but assumed which two. Now I have to wait for their engineering folks to email be back some day. So, the frustrating part is my truck is all torn apart now and the assume wires appear not to work.
Not sure if anyone else is doing an install and has any information on this issue that could help me out.
Thanks

I would make a new thread asking your questions. We all installed the RC power steps and then we did a factory switch mod instead of the RC universal switch.

Thanks so much for the suggestion. I went ahead with a new post.
