Amp Research Power Steps Problem

I've had these darn things for about 3 months now and the driver side has never worked properly for more than a few days. I've had them readjusted a few times and had the module replaced but it's still acting up. It's working better now but not great. They always go down but don't always go all the way up. I've got a whole new driver side assembly coming. The passenger side has never acted up until the last cold snap but started working again today (was in the 50s). I'm wondering if the cold affects these things - though the driver side has been screwy the whole time. I know the snow/ice/mud can lodge in the brackets and cause the motor to stop (a protective feature). Has anyone else had this problem? My service guy has been very helpful and has been willing to do whatever it takes to remedy the problem but I'm wondering if you guys have a suggestion that we could try?

By the way, I love these steps but just they worked properly.
