    2011 825i power bed lift issue -- any help would be great! Thank you in advance!

    The power bed lift on my 825i will lift up but not go back down. I hear the motor running in both up and down positions but the ram only seems to move up. Does anyone have any guidance on how to fix the ram if it is fixable at all??? I have not taken it apart yet because I'm not quite sure what I'm getting into and don't want to cause more harm than good. Thank you all in advance!

    Thank you for the suggestion. I should emphasize I'm a total novice. I only see electrical wires going to the motor which is bolted onto the jack mechanism. Perhaps I should unbolt it and take a look but not really sure what's in there. The motor tries to go both directions. Just the mechanism only extends out and up. It doesn't want to lower.
