In the setup menu, there are options for just about everything else but nothing that says running boards. I recently purchased the vehicle so I have no idea what happened with the previous owner nor will I know who the person was as I purchased from an auction. My situation is that they are always deployed and never retracts. I will go underneath the vehicle tomorrow morning to see if I can see the motor that you're referring to to see if I notice anything. I checked the fuse one time when I was under the hood and I remembered seeing a good fuse for the running boards. I will re-post my findings after I go underneath the vehicle tomorrow. Thanks!!!
