Exactly. After doing the JLU, the JT wiring went fast and I had magnet placement all figured out. I think I moved one magnet but used painters tape to locate them, marked where things belonged then applied them permanently. A person can remove these if you trade vehicles and not ever touch the factory wiring. If something does happen to them on either of our Jeeps, servicing them will be a breeze. I know exactly how to test things now (and their service and support is among the best I've ever seen)
I have a gen3 set that definitely cycles when power is restored. I thought that was a self test. I didn’t know they changed to new boards mid generation. Do they consider the old boards to be bad, or recalled? Meaning should I call them and ask for replacements? Thanks for the heads up.
If you don't have issues as i think many don't then you are probably ok. If you have issues with the steps stopping working then I'd say contact them.
Mine work fine. Other than two light kits failing, they’ve been indestructible since late 2021.
Ours do not. I asked their support about it after I had that board problem because the "book" still said it would cycle. She said no, these would not.
Their support is top notch for sure. I’m well versed on the frozen phenomenon. It happens a few times per winter. But they are designed for it. Slush creates a frozen layer over them. The 20amp fuse blows before anything is damaged. I kick both steps until they’re obviously free, then replace the fuse. All good. I have several 20’s in the glove box for this reason. I use a lot of silicone spray lubricant on all the moving parts on these proactively. I’ve had zero issues with them.
Pretty much what I did with milk crates and wood blocks. Small jack stands work great and take up less room.With the armor being so heavy, I just fabricate some scaffolding with floor jack stands, gorrilla tape and 2x4s. You can slide them off by yourself and work on them by yourself, test them with your electrical hookup close by, then, slide them back on by yourself.
If you aren't having problems then i wouldn't go through the hastle of trying to replace the control board. With the white control boards, cycling with a fuse pull (removing and reapplying power) is normal.
Back in February/March 2023, the switch on the right is what both of my sets came with for the under dash switch - even though the docs still showed the older style dash switch.I want to add a data point to the discussion. My wife reported the passenger side RSE step did not extend on our 2021 Mojave (steps are about one year old). I tried the door a couple of times, pulled the RSE fuse in the engine compartment, and inspected all of the wiring for rodent damage or obvious wiring defects, and found none. I sent an email to RSE, Support responded within an hour and gave me the book directions, starting with "pull the fuse.., press the seat rail button". The seat rail button extended the step momentarily (about 3 seconds) and then the step would retract. When I explained what I had already done, and what I was seeing, RSE Support said it sounded like the door switch mounted to the seat rail was bad and they would send a new one.
I received the new switch within two days. My original switch was a simple push switch, no "off" or "on" indicated, and with two connections on the back. The replacement switch was a switch very similar to, or the same, as the RSE power switch under the dash, with "off" and "on" indicated. I thought they sent the wrong switch but I installed it anyway, and the system worked properly. When I sent another email to RSE, Support told me that this was the new replacement switch model. Photo has the original RSE switch on the left, RSEreplacement on the right.
As noted several times earlier in this thread, RSE's product support is fantastic!
