RE: electric step stuck out ???
when the step is out there should be a cotter pin or simular to release the step from the motor, this will get u moving to drive it
oh yea stap up the step so u dont rip it off
there should be a fuse in the fuse panel, check all fuse panels mine was under the hood drivers side
check for voltage at the motor when someone hits the door button in the jam with a meter if ya see voltage ie 12v then most likely motor is bad or just really gummed up try cleaning it rip it apart and give it a whirl might save a a couple of bucks and lube the steps while ur at it will improve operation
good luck
