Anthem step motor
We are on the road and the gear in the step motor is stripped. We called Entegra and they are back ordered. I saw on other threads that a Ford Torus Driver side window motor fits, but I searched every Torus window motor ever made and one was close, but did not fit.
Did they change the motor and does anyone know what fits?

If you google either of the "214-1001 Motor" number that should be on the label of the motor you will find some info on where to get a replacement. Found this article that might help you.

I took my bad motor into Napa and they matched it up to one of the Ford window motors. Only took them a few minutes.

We were thinking of buying a spare to have on hand. Not having working steps can be a major pain. That article must be pretty old as the price mentioned was $28 and the price of the website is $72 now.
I think the hardest thing on these step motors is "stepping" on them while they are still moving. Those 14 little newton meters just aren't meant to move the weight of an adult..!
Becks....would you still have the motor number/model that you got at Napa as a replacement?

If the pinion gear is ok you may be able to flip the main gear over and get it to work.

If the hole pattern matches up with the newer step motor, I think that Napa 655-1508 will work. Thanks for the part number.!

I had to replace the motor on my Kwikee Steps on my previous coach, a 2009 Fleetwood Discovery. My current steps appear to be exactly the same, and I must admit, I have not checked to see if the motor is the same. I purchased a replacement motor through Amazon, Kwikee 1101428 Motor Replacement Kit, and it worked like a champ. I just checked Amazon, and they still have them, but have raised the price to $77.00. That's $11.00 more than I paid not quite a year ago.
Hope this helps, Brian

The Ford Taurus motor I used on my last set of Kwikee Steps was $49.95 at Auto Zone. It came with numerous plugs, all the wrong size so I did have to splice my old plug into the harness.
