2015 Ford Expedition Running boards turn themselves off overnight.
If the running boards bind in any way when attempting to fold or unfold the system will automatically shut off. There's most likely corrosion or dirt in the hinges that is making the power running board motor strain. Set the running boards to "always out", give the running board hinges a good wash, let them dry, then lube all of the pivot points on the hinges with a good spray lube. Not WD40, as that attracts water and will make the problem worse. A spray GREASE, like "Endura" is ideal. The wash and lube may help for a while, but usually the hinges have to be replaced to correct the problem.
