AMP Research Manuals & User Guides

AMP Cercetare is an American manufacturer known for inventing and producing innovative accessories for trucks, Jeeps, and SUVs. The brand is most famous for the PowerStep™, an automatic, electric-powered running board that instantly extends when doors open and retracts safely out of sight when doors close, maintaining the vehicle’s ground clearance and aerodynamics.

Beyond the PowerStep, AMP Research offers a range of practical solutions for vehicle access and cargo management, including the BedStep™ bumper step and the BedXTender HD™ for expanding truck bed capacity. Now a brand under RealTruck, AMP Research continues to engineer durable, all-weather products designed to withstand rugged use while providing seamless ergonomic support for vehicle owners.

• Cum resetez AMP Research PowerStep controller?

  Locate the 30/40-amp fuse in the fuse holder on the red wire connecting to the controller. Remove the fuse, wait 5 minutes, and then reinstall it to reset the system.

• How do I maintain my PowerStep running boards?

  Clean the front and rear hinge arms regularly with a pressure washer to remove mud and debris. After washing, apply silicone spray lubricant to the hinge pivot pins. Do not use grease, oil, or wax products.

• Why are my PowerSteps making a clicking noise?

  Clicking often indicates debris in the linkage or improper alignment. Check for binding in the arms or loose wedge bolts. Refer to the troubleshooting section in your specific installation guide for bolt torque specifications.

• Where can I find the installation guide for my specific vehicle?

  You can find vehicle-specific installation guides on the official AMP Cercetare website under the 'Installation Guides' section or by searching your part number on the support page.
