Anyone have a source for the motor for our DStar step cover. Mines shot. Don't really use it, but should be replaced.

Here is a link that you may need. You will need to know which actuator you actually have. More than likely it's the same one I had which has been discontinued and replaced with an upgraded model. Depending on what's wrong it might be fixable.

The motor in my 2005 DS came apart which is a common problem. I propped up the steps and reached in and disconnected the motor assembly. The little screws holding the motor together has stripped out. I drilled holes through the motor and installed long and skinny screws and nuts to hold the motor together. I installed the assembly and it has worked great the last three years. And it didn't cost anything to repair it.
