What is the measurement from the door sill and the top of the fixed step and the top of the movable step? Specifically for a stock 2015 ram 1500 Laramie longhorn crew cab.

My steps are 2-3 years old now and they now are not retracting completely and locking into stowed position. I’ve had vehicle battery replaced as a potential culprit - problem persists. Are there any travel adjustments or has my motor going bad? Steps are 3048321.
