Running board end cap kick switch Removal

[psg]

Anyone know how to remove the running board end cap with the kick switch in it? I can only find one screw on the bottom of the end cap and when I removed it I could not move the end cap . Thinking there must be a tab somewhere to release the end cap, but can't see anything obvious. Running board (pass. side) swings to the rear with the dash switch but not the kick switch. 2017 Crew Cab Denali.Thx

Post some pictures, a fresh set of eyes might be able to see something you are not.

Thanks Jim for the reply, instead of using  a mirror to look around under the running board like I initially did, I got underneath  it today and cleaned out some of the winter crud and found a couple of other screws heads, now 4 in total, did not remove them but I think when they are removed the endcap should come off. Going to wait until the replacement I ordered comes in before I remove it. Cheers

You are very welcome.

 

Take some pics as you go along and post them. It will help the next one trying to solve this problem.

Hi guys, new to this forum. 

Both sides of my 2016 Silverado HC kick switches don't operate.  Seems there are 4 screws to remove per above.  Does anyone have the kick switch part number(s) in case there's a left and a right?  Any preventative measures for new switches?  Second repair I had to do since new.   First was the 7 pin plug trailer plug 12 volt pin corroded.

Thanks in advance.

Here are some pictures….  There are 4 screws to retain bottom track but nothing on the end cap.
