Now that I've figured out I'm color-blind I have another "minor" issue that's been bugging me for a while now. The rear right-side running board keeps getting stuck in the "up" position. I don't have passengers all that often but I haven't been able to get it into position for a few weeks and that fact alone is driving me up the wall. When I look at it, it looks like there's a ring clip on the pin holding the running board on.

I'm just curious if anyone else has had this problem.

Put some oil on it, then wiggle it a little till it starts moving. Do not force it

And there you go...I hadn't even thought of that because it just "won't" drop down for me. I'll give'er a shot.

lol...sometimes all you can do is shake your head and laugh. I sprayed a little lubricant on the rear end of the pin and the running board moved before I even got around to spraying the front side of the thing! I can't believe how easy the fix was because I was sure there was something broken inside the thing that wouldn't let me move it at all.

I never would have expected such a simple and fast fix. Thanks for your wisdom.
